Advent Reflection: December 7
Read Luke Chapter 7 (you can use a Bible you have, or follow the link)
Chapter 7 tells us some more of what Jesus of Nazareth was doing 2000 years ago. Through it all is the question: Who is this man… who heals… and teaches… and is greater than John. Recently I came across my Certificate of Church Membership and was reminded that 39 years ago, I ‘joined the church’! 39 years ago today, I affirmed my faith in Jesus as Lord and Saviour. It was a significant step in the journey of awakening, developing and sustaining faith.
Recently someone spoke to me and was asking about how they could become more involved in the life of the Church. For each of us there are different next steps… starting to read the Bible regularly (ah, yes you are doing that!), praying for the first time… or praying in different ways… volunteering around the church or other organisations… maybe you’d like to know more about becoming a member of the Church…
Of course you don’t have to be a member to come along to Church… you are warmly invited to come along to any of the services… and on Sunday evening there’s the Peninsula Carols on Sunday – 7pm at Strontian Village Hall.
May you continue to be blessed… and be a blessing… this Advent…
With love, truth and light…
Donald.
