A message from Jeremy Rensford, chair of the Shepparton Ministers’ Association
Shepp – for some this word instantly brings negative thoughts. But there’s a strange thing that’s been happening of late, this place is changing, and I believe changing for the better.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m well aware the many problems that face our city, however with the New Year, I enter a reflective state, and the more I contemplate things, the more I realise that this is a great place to live and getting better by the day.
I’m believing that 2024 will bring even greater change. Local Christians have been praying for years for unity in Greater Shepparton. In fact, this is our number one prayer point in the last decade, and I can see our prayers already being answered.
Greater Shepparton has a bevy of passionate, capable and committed leaders from all walks of life, who actually like each other, and are willing to work together for the greater good of seeing our region continue to grow to be a better place to live than ever before. This will no doubt transfer to those we are leading to do the same.
Together we can be the change we are all looking for. As each individual commits to working in unison with others, including those that we disagree with, this transformation I can see will be obvious to all.
I pray blessings for you and yours for 2024.
