Dear Friends,
A little word
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 1 John 4.7 (NRSV)
John reminds us that our response to God’s love is to love. Love shown supremely in the Easter story. Living life in the light of Easter means being a loving people.
Things to pray for
- Give thanks for all the love we have received from God and each other.
- For our city and country as we elect new councillors and mayors.
- For all those tackling homelessness and housing issues.
