Sharing God's Love Growing Faith Worshipping Together
HOME
Thought for the week:
“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son” (Matt 22:1). That is essentially the story of the Bible, which begins with the marriage of the man and the woman in the Garden (Gen 2), and ends with the marriage of Christ to his bride, the church (Rev 21-22). At the heart of the story God sends the bridegroom to invite his people to the marriage feast.
The closest most of us get to a royal wedding is to watch it on TV. But for this, the wedding to beat all weddings, you are personally invited. So, RSVP!
And remember that to take your place at the feast you need to be properly dressed, or you’ll be chucked out. So, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience, all bound together with love (Col 3:12-14)

Faithful Lord,
whose steadfast love never ceases
and whose mercies never come to an end:
grant us the grace to trust you
and to receive the gifts of your love,
new every morning,
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
