Something New

 Do you try anything new?

 When a thing is new,

it holds interest and

can catch the attention of many.

Whereas, when something is

not new it needs sometimes
a new way of doing it, something
that will catch peoples' attention
once again.

What new things catch

your attention? This can 

be different for many people,

as people have different 

interests, likes and dislikes.

For some it can be a new

car, for others it can be

a new house, or possibly 

for some it could be

a new job.

It may also be a new type

of food which you have never

tasted before, or a new hobby.

Perhaps a new television or

computer that comes out

catches your attention,

or a new film or song

that has been released. 

Within the Church there can

be new things, but also

sometimes it can appear

that there has not been

anything new for some time.

It is of course important to

bring new things and ideas

into the Church, yet also

keep at least some of the

practises that have been

part of the Church for some time.

We must remember that

we always will have the same

message, that will never

change, what sometimes

has to change is

how we present and

bring across this message to others.

This is why we need to

always be at least open

to new fresh ideas of how

this can be done, but 

also of how the local

Churches can be noticed and

seen as relevant to all.

This is why we all

must learn not to

fear or reject something new;

it could be that we are

rejecting something new
