My dearest Friends in the Lord,

Spring is in full bloom and is giving way to summer. We are all excited at the prospect of a warm summer and the lifting of restrictions after the travails of a rather long and cold spell and a year of pandemic.

We are living in such unprecedented times. So many things are happening that test our faith in God and Man. Not just natural disasters like the volcano in Goma or the Cyclone ‘Yaas’ that battered the Indian coasts. We also have witnessed the recent flare-up in Gaza and Israel and the happenings in Nigeria not to mention the shootings in the US. ‘What is happening?’, we ask. It would appear the world is going berserk! But, let’s be honest, there is another music playing, another harmony, another dynamic too. That is the reality of honest Christians following of Jesus Christ and making a world of difference around them.

We are so fortunate every week to gather together and to remember and celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus in Holy Communion. The Sacrifice of Love! We renew our hope in a better world because Jesus has established the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of Love, Communion, Peace, Hope!

The feast of Holy Trinity we celebrate today is a celebration of love, unity, communion, hope. You might like to use the invocation to The Most Holy Trinity given further below as your prayer today.

We also wish God’s blessings on little Amelia who will be baptised today after the on-line service in Ingham church. Baptism reminds us of God’s gift to us, a new way of living and the hope of eternal life. We so much need hope in this world battered by the pandemic and other chronic social and natural crises.
