MY family and I moved to Andover only a few months ago.

We had been living in Bracknell for 18 years and so it was a big move for us all. At Andover Baptist Church it looks like we will soon be moving out of our building for around nine months whilst work is done on the roof and refurbishing the interior. It is going to be a big change. Moving involves significant change and change can sometimes be daunting as well as exciting!

All of us experience change of one kind or another throughout our lives and sometimes it can exciting and new and at other times it can be painful and scary. It is in these times that we can long for something or someone that isn’t changing. Christians believe that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He doesn’t change, he is a firm foundation on which lives can be built and on whom we can lean when we feel alone or afraid.

So no matter what is changing in your life, remember that God doesn’t change and he is always there.
