Thank God life goes on. Most of us are going through so much change at any time of the year, we need to know that there are some certainties, like the
Friday Message.
I totally love the way you stay in touch. When Advent came, I thought "they are too busy to notice if I do not send in one Friday message." Then Lent came, and I thought the same thing. Then summer crept around the corner and I thought that maybe everything, including the Friday Message, would disappear.
I should know better.
So, here I am, on a Thursday afternoon, having just come back from a Presbytery committee. (Did I mention that?) And I thank God for people like Janet, who keeps me on track, at least until I leave at the end of August.
What do I have to offer you on this day?
What do I have to offer myself?
We are told in scripture to "be not weary in well doing."
We are just expected to keep going on the uphill journey.
And that is what Jesus did - till his strength ran out.
Even his strength ran out.
Summer is an odd time in the church year. I often wonder why churches scramble for supply at this time of year. After all, we are all on vacation (except for Janet) and in a different space. It seems to me that God uses this time of rest and change to tap into our imagination. This past week we had Prayers and Communion outside in the 'spirit Garden' and it was wonderful. We will keep meeting for prayers and communion in the summer, either in the "spirit garden', or inside.
Prayer can take no vacation. Join us on WEDNESDAY at 6.45 pm.
Love to all in Jesus,
Rev Jackie: Supply Minister
