The Peregrinos
This Sunday morning we have a meeting planned to consider inviting Taybar as a member of the pastoral team. There is not much more that needs to be said here - please pray for a good discussion and a solid consensus. The biggest issues are practical ones - we are a little church still, with many non-earners - can we support a worker?
The other major matter that still faces us is where to meet. The chapel is still undergoing repairs, and the university authorities are talking about charging - and charging a lot - when it reopens. Meanwhile, we generally do not know where we will be on a week to week basis. The possible cost of hiring the chapel obviously has implications for the support of a pastor too.
We have had a good week with Tom and Emily - although we wish it were two or more!
