In-Person and Online - Churches that Change Communities - Liverpool
@Frontline Church Liverpool, Frontline Centre, 147 Lawrence Road, Wavertree, Liverpool,
Change is possible. Sometimes that is hard to believe. Hoping for change – in the lives of those we support and in the systems that hold them down – can be draining over time. Often change takes a lot longer than we would like.
Perhaps that is why the Bible says “let us not grow weary in doing good” – God knows that pouring ourselves into deeds of mercy and justice is hard. It can be exhilarating and joyful, but it can also be exhausting, frustrating and disappointing.
Our aim at Churches that Change Communities 2024 is to provide a place where we can be refreshed in God and inspired again to believe that change really is possible – in our own lives, for the people we serve, for our churches, our neighbourhoods, and our nation.
