Often, we get our sense of worth from what we do. But what do you do when you no longer get to do what you used to do? In other words, how do we respond when circumstances change, and we can no longer do something we once loved or found fulfilling? Are we more in love with what we do than the one we do it for? Is serving Jesus in any way he wants more important than our own preferences?

On the penultimate Sunday of our Created to Create series Sam looks at Imagination and what it means “to be creative”. Too often we say we aren't creative but the freewill the Lord gave us means we create without knowing, whether we like it or not!! The big question is what we do with it. We are invited to create in the Lord's image, just as we were created in God’s likeness.

The rhythm of your life determines the sound of your soul. Our habits and experiences shape who we are. The rhythms we have in place can feed our soul or deplete it. Using the analogy of music, our lives are like note in the symphony of God's creation. So, what is the sound of your soul and what rhythms do you have that help you stay in tune with your heavenly Father?

The world around us can teach us how to creatively flourish where we are planted. It is vital to be firmly rooted in the fertile soil of church community, continually working the ground of our creative spiritual lives and enjoy the creativity found in community.

We are created by a creative God. Too often, we dismiss creativity as something for 'creative' people, but there are all kinds of creativity.

The church is the people, and today, we celebrate the incredible dedication and love of everyone who has served at SVC this year. We honour everyone who has helped create space for Jesus to be worshipped and his table extended to the least, the lost, the near, and the far-off. Thank you all!
