MARCH 2017
Good morning and welcome to Worship
I hope that your week has been a good one. Has it?
This week I’ve been really inspired by stories of people who’ve been really kind and considerate of other people. From people who help others with their shopping, to some who give of their property to others with no expectation of any payment, to others who come into work on their Day Off to help out someone in need and expect nothing in return, to those who take others out for Coffee and chat just because they can. I am really inspired by people who give of themselves in the service of others. I am moved to see where I can help others as I’ve sometimes been helped. How about you? When last did you do some random act of kindness just because it was the right thing to do? If it’s been a while why not try and find a way to do something this next week that will help out someone in need?
Please don’t forget the Emergency Food Programme is ALWAYS in need of food. Please consider being a part of this Fraternal initiative.
Until next week … Stay blessed … Love - John
