On Sunday 13 April, the 2014 TT Tour visited the New Covenant Church that meets in the Stanley Lazell Hall in Dell Road, Grays.
In the service, Tim Harrold did a Powerpoint presentation went through the past activities, present focii and future vision of Transformation Thurrock.
He talked about TT’s strapline – resourcing and facilitating united prayer and united mission, and the emerging emphasis to equip disciples to be disciple-makers.
Group discussion and feedback was again very lively and productive, and all responses were recorded by Vera Harrold on sheets of paper, as the photo shows (see below).
After the service, the ‘scrolls’ were handed to the pastor, Sam Ajetunmobi (see below right), as a memorial of the day which can be referred to and prayed over, and for safe keeping.
Similarities with the feedback of the other fellowships was evident again, much of it with a prophetic edge. The job of joining the dots and pooling resources so the church of Thurrock can become an effective united force can begin to become a reality.
The next stop on the TT Tour is at St Margaret’s Parish Church, Stanford le Hope, on Sunday 4 May.
