Our faith journey calls us to discover and develop our gifts so that these can be used for God’s greater glory. We are also called to affirm others in their gifts so that together we can bring about the kingdom of God. So for 2012 we are encouraging members to discover, nurture and celebrate all that they are and to thank God for all that he gives to us.”
