Dear Friends
Here is the latest news, but do please also check in with the facebook page www.facebook.com/ccpitsmoor/ and website www.pitsmoor.church/ during the week.
A little word
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? Psalm 8.4-5 (NIV)
Have you ever lain on your back at night in the countryside and taken in the vastness of the universe? Being city dwellers it’s hard for us to get away from the light pollution. I imagine this Psalmist had done just that. It makes you feel really tiny and insignificant, and begs the question raised above in the Psalm. And yet we know that God does care for us. That is our gospel, our good news; God cares so much, that he stepped into human time and space; He shows us a new and different way, a better way.
At the very heart of that message is just how incredibly special and precious each one of us is. I pray we will never lose sight of that; for ourselves, for all those we meet, and for all those brothers and sisters we will never meet but share a common home with.
