Sunday the 4^th of January marked the first celebration of the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper in the next year. This is always a very special time for our congregation for it allows us to tell Jesus we have not forgotten Him. It also lifts the spirits of the church in that a personal dedication bring each of us closer to the sacrifice Jesus made for us and the resurrection which the Lord promised us.

“Shine” was the overall theme of the day and shine we did. The music was uplifting and the message reminded each of us of our obligation and opportunity to tell the world about Jesus through our actions. The scripture for the day was based on the writing of John and is words were carried throughout the service. John told us of the importance of realizing that Jesus, in human form, was actually the “words of God” and by knowing Jesus we would know God.  So it is that by knowing the scripture according to St John we know all we need to know about God’s hopes for us as He wished them expressed.
