The Minister's Summer Message

It has been a great privilege to live in Redbourn for the past four years and to have been able to be involved in the life of the Methodist Church and of the wider village

When we moved to Redbourn, I was convinced that God was working in this village in powerful ways; I have seen many signs of God's work in this special place where there is a real sense of community and a unique quality of life. To me, then, this year's Redbourn 900 celebrations are a reminder of the many ways in which God has been at work in this village since the founding of St. Mary's Church in 1110. As the population of Redbourn has grown from around 150 to around 6,000 during the past 900 years, there have been a number of different church buildings in the village and a great number of Christians living, praying and worshipping here. God's work among his people helps us to build up a sense of community as his Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control (The Bible, Galatians 5:22-23), so I believe that the quality of community life here in Redbourn speaks volumes about the ways in which God has been working here and encouraging us to care for one another

It has been really good being a part of community life in Redbourn and there is so much more that we might have become involved with. This summer, though, we are moving to Derbyshire. Liz's new job as Headteacher of a church school in Derbyshire and my own ministry there will no doubt bring with them new challenges, new friendships and new opportunities. Nevertheless, we will always remember Redbourn with fondness and we hope to be able to return to the village from time to time to meet up with the friends that we have made here.

God bless,

Rev. Robert Foster
