Welcome to our blog

Well folks, welcome to Christchurch’s new blog!

If you’re anything like me, you may be thinking ‘who needs another blog with so many excellent ones out there?’ Good question! We certainly aren’t putting this site together because we think we have more to say than is already being said; and neither do we think that this site will be oozing pearls of wisdom on a daily basis that will change everyone’s life. The reason for it is simply to be able to serve the good members of Christchurch through discussion and comment and have opportunity to communicate more effectively what’s going on and what’s being thought and talked about. It’s an added bonus for us if folk from outside the church find the site useful and we welcome their involvement and comments.

One of the main functions of the site will be to continue discussion and application of the Sunday morning messages. There’s rarely a Sunday goes by when I’ve been preaching that I don’t think afterwards ‘I wish I’d said…” or “I need to clarify that point more effectively” etc.

I know some blogs tend to centre round the musings and goings on of the writers; this won’t be happening so much on this site, as the writers (primarily myself and the pastoral team) don’t consider our musings or opinions to be of any particular import and at times are just plain boring! Also, there’s not that much going on in our lives that we think would be particularly interesting to anyone except our closest friends and family (and even they struggle to look engaged with us at times). If we do though come across interesting people and conversations we will of course let you know and if there are any travel stories or stupid incidents that make us look foolish they will be posted immediately for your edification and enjoyment. Oh…one further thing: I will also work hard to ensure that there are absolutely NO posts on sport of any kind (save for the Ryder Cup) as it bores me witless.

We would really encourage you to add your comments, although we need to let you know up front that all the comments will be vetted before they are posted. If they’re stupid, we won’t post them; if they’re offensive, we won’t post them; and if they make me look bad, we definitely won’t post them! Please also post any questions you may have that relate into the church or any of the teaching; if we think the questions will serve others, we’ll put them up…provided we can answer them of course (don’t hold your breath!)

So…welcome again and keep logging in to see what’s happening in Christchurch.

Have a great day…
Pete Greasley
