Our meetings always start with a conversation around creativity.

This month, our topic was, NEW THINGS/ CHANGE.

We finished our conversation by asking “How can we bring artistic impact to our surrounding community?”

We spitballed a lot of ideas about promoting the arts in our region. I will write in future about which of these ideas we begin to implement.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO BRING POSITIVE CHANGE IN YOUR COMMUNITY?

2025 is releasing its last breaths as I write this post and my eyes are already gazing on tomorrow.

I sense a few things as I look at 2026. Our community has received a few words from God.

We are now in what the Lord has told me is “the second harvest.”

A time of fruitfulness for our church, this will be time of productivity and fruitfulness for our people, a time where the work will “come easier to us”.

Carrie Hackett received a word for our church which said this was a “time of plateau”.

For a season our uphill battle will be over and productivity will be easier and more effective.

2026 will be a year of healing, deliverance and hope for our community. I believe we are going to see miracles, divine rescues, provision and divine appointments.

My son, Joe received a word that this would be a year of continued prayer and increased action. A year of divine alignment and activation into His works for us as a community.

This is what I see for 2026. What are you seeing?
