The Haven Churches

Dear Friends

As you stand at the threshold of this New Year, may you feel the steady presence of the One who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

May the hope of Christ be more than a distant wish for you; may it be an anchor for your soul, firm and secure. In the quiet coastal beauty of your parishes, may you hear the whisper of the Spirit promising that you are never alone.

As the calendar turns, may you be filled with:

❖ The Promise of Renewal: That in Christ, all things are being made new, and His mercies are fresh every morning.

❖ The Promise of Peace: A peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding your hearts and minds regardless of what the year brings

❖ The Promise of Purpose: The assurance that you are called by name to be a light in your community, reflecting the warmth of His love.

May the Haven Benefice truly be a haven - a place of safety, rest, and radical hospitality. May your churches be vibrant witnesses to the truth that the darkness has not overcome the Light.

"Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
(Matthew 28:20)

Wishing you a year filled with the grace, joy, and the unmistakable peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
