From the Curate's Desk

In case anyone is interested in what the good citizens of Trull found in the January edition of the Parish Magazine...

What’s your passion?

What makes you tick? What excites you? Where does your energy and drive come from? What will be motivating you through this New Year?

Perhaps it is family and friends. Perhaps the house, or garden. Maybe it is a desire for self-improvement, or to make a difference in our world. Maybe your passion is a person. Or perhaps a pleasure.

Over the next few weeks, the church in Trull would like to share its passion with you. It is a passion that motivates and excites us. It is a passion that gives us energy and drive. It is a passion for life.

To that end, we are planning of series of events with, we hope, something for everyone: a Tea Dance, a Black Tie Dinner, a visit from the Bishop of Bath & Wells, coffee mornings, and much, much more besides. This will all be part of what we are calling A Passion for Life, and we hope to drop round soon to give you further information about what will be happening in and around the village.

A Passion for Life is a nationwide initiative, with involvement from people and churches all over the country. There will be a number of events throughout the south-west and beyond, not just in Trull! The central theme of A Passion for Life is God’s passion for the world: his passionate desire that we should enjoy life to the very full.

And this is what we would like to share with you. We believe it is great news, so please bear with us as we try to explain it as clearly as we can. And we hope you might even consider sharing this passion with us.

Meanwhile, whatever your passion in 2010, may I wish you a very happy, joyful, and peaceful New Year.

with best wishes,

Mark
