Sharing God's Love Growing Faith Worshipping Together
HOME
Thought for the week:
This Sunday, we shall mark All Souls’ Day with a special evening service, remembering those we loved in their lives and continue to love after their deaths. Some of us will shed tears. Church is a good place to mourn and
a safe place to cry.
Jesus tells us that “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” See how God expects us to mourn and to cry. We also know, from Revelation, that God will wipe away every tear from our eyes. What an intimate picture! God is near enough to us to wipe our eyes.
Then comes God’s promise of an eternity with “no more death or mourning or crying or pain.”
In the meantime, when we find ourselves welling up, we can be assured that God is very close.

Collect
God of holiness,
your glory is proclaimed in every age:
as we rejoice in the faith of your saints,
inspire us to follow their example
with boldness and joy;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
