Reflection of the Week - 16th April 2024
Don’t you wonder sometimes how our covenant Lord who is God – Creator, Master, and Teacher, can and does create from nothing and does not need anything or anyone but is helplessly in love with you?

Hams and hampers, mince pies and puddings are already on display in shops – a reminder to prepare for the Christmas festivities.
The Baptist‘s message is confronting – another reminder that the season of Advent is all about being ready, but not just ready to party. I must prepare my heart as thoroughly as I would Spring clean my home (Matthew 3:2-3).
Prayer
Come long-expected Jesus. Cleanse my soul of all the detritus of past sins. Revisit me with your salvation, so that I might truly welcome you. I open my heart, as I would open my doors to welcome all who gather around my table. Amen.

It’s nearly 5 years since the introduction of the Working With Childrens Check (WWCC) became a minimum requirement for those with roles of responsibility within the life of the church.
While I claim no expert knowledge when it comes to sheep, I did find myself relating to Jesus in his role as the Good Shepherd in today's gospel (21st April).
