God's Acre MCC ~ Weekly Newsletter |
|
Good morning,
In my sermon yesterday I was talking about how Mary ministers to Jesus, by anointing his feet with perfume; she wanted to be there for Jesus.
I really like what Mary did and it’s a memorable piece of scripture. It’s often what we do for others that shows our true character; how we go the extra mile to help a person in need. Jesus is always on hand for us; we only have to pray in the name of Jesus, and we will receive a blessing through the Holy Spirit.
As you know, we are praying for many people in our 'prayers for the people' part of the service and in this newsletter, each week; I’m so grateful for people who are participating in our prayer chains.

When we pray, the spirit moves at the speed of light; we have evidence of that as people in our church and, all around the world, are receiving healing prayers from us all.
As we come to the end of Lent, we will be moving into Palm Sunday next week. It’s a blessing to be able to bless the palms and give them out; it’s always been my tradition to keep the palms for a whole year as a reminder of my Lenten journey.
I like to be reminded of what I did throughout Lent, and what I’ve learned in the process. We need to be reminded of how much God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are working in our lives.

I would also like to remind everyone that self-care is really important; I often ask you to pray for others, but today I’m going to ask you to pray for yourself, before you pray for others.
Some people think praying for themselves is selfish; I can assure you that it’s not; it’s a way of giving us the strength to pray stronger, for the people we need.
I hope you all have a blessed week this week; I look forward to seeing you next week for Palm Sunday, Amen
In Christ
Rev. Janice
