What if?

 2020 has been a year like no other. Everyday life has changed in ways no-one could have anticipated. Unfamiliar words and concepts have entered everyday speech. Slogans and public health warnings have shaped the way we live. Freedoms once taken for granted have been curtailed as across the world governments seek to control the virus. Plans, events, holidays and normal social life have all been put on hold. The 2020 we were expecting has been cancelled. 

But what if 2020 isn't cancelled, but turns out to be the most important year of them all? What if  this most unusual of years actually empowers and encourages change? What if, as Christians, we pray for the transformation of our church communities rather than settle for picking up the threads of a life that has ended? 

What if 2020 really does turn out to be not an ending but a new beginning?
