## **REVIEW OF 2022** 

Three different Prime Ministers, Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee but then her passing, a cost of living crisis with huge inflation, ongoing coronavirus concerns, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine – 2022 was not without incident. This past year also marked 100 years of St Matthew’s Church (the foundation stone was laid on 23 rd September 1922). It remains our conviction, a century on, that God’s Word speaks into all these different situations, enabling us to see the world as he sees it. 

The Scriptures tell us that everything that happens is under God’s sovereign rule. He is not responsible for evil or suffering, but nor does it take him by surprise. Even terrible events cannot thwart his good plans for his people, as we see most clearly through the cross of the Lord Jesus. At the same time, we believe that God calls us to action; not least of all, he calls us to be pro-active in helping one another, and those around us, through such times of crisis and grief. It has been fantastic to see genuine care expressed by many people at St Matthew’s, and perhaps others of us have been doing these things in ways unseen, particularly as we have said farewell to a number of those loved to us who have gone to be with the Lord in glory. 

Throughout  2022  we  have  sought  to  support  one  another  practically,  but  also spiritually, through prayer and continuing to share God’s Word with one another – helping one another to keep walking on God’s path for the rest of our earthly lives. Sundays, the Lord’s Day, continues to be one primary time of gathering together, and we have enjoyed many happy times of encouragement, not least through many new people coming to join us. 

Warm relationships continue with those around us in Elburton and wider Plymouth. However, we are yet to see signs of a spiritual awakening. I wonder if the reason for this, at least in part, is that we haven’t been vocal enough in sharing the saving news of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christian from _Pilgrim’s Progress_ was convinced he was indeed living in a City of Destruction, and pleaded with his wife to join him on his journey towards the Celestial City. If we were to talk more honestly with those around  us  perhaps  we  would  might  also  see  the  Lord  answer  our  prayers in wonderful ways. Some food for thought as the Lord calls us onwards. 

I would like to conclude this short reflection on the past year by thanking everyone who has generously contributed to the life of St Matthew’s through the giving of their time, energy and finances. We are so grateful for such partnership in the gospel, as together we continue to fix our eyes on the things unseen (2 Corinthians 4:18) and try to help others to do the same.
