“Light from on high”
– Luk 1:78 (AMP)
HOPE!
I believe the following paragraph will fill you with unshakable Hope (note the superscript letters for references in the footnote):
Here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting—for he will never disappoint you!a The Lord alone is our radiant hope and we trust in him with all our hearts. His wrap-around presence will strengthen us.b And this is no empty hope, for God himself is the one who has prepared us for this wonderful destiny. And to confirm this promise, he has given us the Holy Spirit, like an engagement ring, as a guarantee.c Your future is bright and filled with a living hope that will never fade away.d But keep your hope to the end and you will experience life and deliverance.e Continue to preach the hope of the gospel. f No wonder my heart is glad and my glory celebrates! My mouth is filled with his praises, and I have hope that my body will live.g And this hope is not a disappointing fantasy, because we can now experience the endless love of God cascading into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who lives in us!h So then, with this amazing hope living in us, we step out in freedom and boldness to speak the truth.i

This coming Sunday is set to be a great blessing! We will have a “sharing” service, during which we can all share with one another about the goodness of God. Each contribution will have to be kept around 3 minutes to allow several people the opportunity to share with us.
I would like to invite you to attend our Sunday services. Our get-togethers are truly wonderful experiences! On average we have at least 20 more spaces each Sunday before we reach the maximum allowance of 50 attendees. If you choose not to attend due to health reasons, we understand, but don’t fall into the trap of getting used to staying at home! If our numbers rise above the 50 restriction, we will look into having more than one service or creating some kind of booking system.
May the Lord fill you with enduring hope!
Regards
from the pastoral office
