A Message from our minister
Today we read about the Transfiguration of Jesus. The time when His true inner self was revealed as disciples looked on. An amazing situation for Peter, James and John to witness.
We will think about what that says about Jesus but also begin to reflect on what it can mean for us today.
Lent begins this week (Wednesday) and is often used as a time for reflection, resolution and re-assessment for our lives. It is a reminder of the personal journey we are on … the pilgrimage through life.
A journey which involves our body, mind and soul.
A journey that we hope will bring well-being, health and faith.
A journey which can lead to transformation physically (beach body!?), mentally (mindfulness!?), and spiritually (openness to God!?).
It is frightening to reveal our inner selves (or even to think of them), yet we need to open ourselves to what God has for us through Jesus, and allow the Holy Spirit to renew us, inside and out! Lent should not be about giving up. Rather, it is a time to move forward with God.
To help us and encourage us on our individual journeys we will be hearing from some who have been on pilgrimage, and studying John’s Gospel for ourselves.
Join us, and journey alongside us.
God Bless,
REV Mark RS Smith

WEEKLY PRAYER
God of Light, of Hope and of Healing,
although we do not always feel forgiven,
and struggle to accept the gifts You would give,
we rejoice in the fact that Your Son lived, died
and rose again for each one of us
that we might not be burdened by the past
but set free to live, fully and faithfully, every day.
Amen
Prayer theme: Bring your inner journey to God, asking Jesus to walk with you, and the Holy Spirit to fill you.
