Dear Friends,
We are still meeting in the Welcome Centre for everything as the Church refurbishment continues.
A little word
Proclaim the Message with intensity; keep on your watch. Challenge, warn, and urge your people. Don’t ever quit. Just keep it simple. 2 Tim 4.2 (MSG)
This week we think of Prophets. Those who speak God’s word to the people. The gift of the Holy Spirit means that we can all take part in that prophetic ministry of speaking God’s wisdom into situations. I love the combination of ‘intensity’ and ‘simplicity’. The message of hope and love is a simple one but needs to be heard loud and clear.
Things to pray for
- Give thanks for all those who have spoken of God to us.
- For schools as they engage with the Christmas story.
- For people we know who are sick and unwell.
