tonight hOME is being bidden farewell by our parent church - St Aldates - at a commissioning service, where we will be prayed for and sent out. not that we are leaving Oxford but we are leaving the patronage of St Aldates and becoming more adult, more responsible for ourselves as a community in our own right.
we begin our new season of Sunday night gatherings next Sunday (25th). we did have a great venue for this lined up but it has unfortunately fallen through due to some complex ecclesiastical issues, so, at this moment, we are a hOME without a home. but hopefully we will have somewhere by this time next week. if you are in Oxford and know somewhere great to do church in East Oxford then do let me know!
About Me
- Matt
- i am one of the leaders of a young missional faith community in the city of Oxford, UK, called 'home' (see link below). you can read more about us at our site. i should say at this point that any of the views expressed here are not necessarily the views of the community as a whole! there's the disclaimer out of the way! we have been taken in by the Church of England who have carved out some space - financially, physically and ecclesiologically - for us to explore life and mission in the culture we find ourselves a part of. I am married to Pippa and she is lush. I am now also a proud and doting father to our beautiful little baby girl, Lily-Anna.
