A week of many things.

I haven’t done this for a while. Many apologies.

Quite a few things have happened over the past week – really noticed God in my life, and feeling blessed to do so.

Last Tuesday was the Congregational Board meeting. It’s a privilege to be a part of this group of people within Claremont who can make decisions on behalf of the congregation for some matters.

Wednesday I helped at both Kidzone and Crossword. I really see the work that God is doing with the children I am blessed to be in the lives of. It may be a slow process, but I see God working through me, and the other leaders and children to show the love and grace of God to the young people in this community.

Sunday was a good, yet bad day.  I, for some reason, wasn’t feeling brilliant. Just felt a bit dejected – but during the service was the song “Be Thou My Vision”, which is one of my favourite hymns. It’s a really inspiring song – and it truly lifts your mood. Went home feeling a lot better that day.

The last couple of days I have been planning and writing for the Midweek Fellowship, a small service which I’ve been invited to lead. It’s wonderful that I am getting this opportunity to lead this. So many other churches wouldn’t give a 20 year old a chance to lead a service by themselves, but I am blessed to be given this chance. I’ve been writing a sermon on John 8:1-11 “The Adulterous Woman”. It’s a bit of an eye-opener looking into the context and the things that we can read between the lines in this story. It’s a wonderful tale of forgiveness and redemption.

The last week I’ve also started to really get a passion for telling people about God. I just want everyone to know. I’m not quite at the stage of singing hymns on the bus, or running about screaming “Repent! The End of the World is Nigh!” Evangelism is built on relationships, through love and care – not just a flyer on the street etc.

But, until I become a minister (if that’s what I end up doing), then I’m going to stick in at the ministry I am involved in at present. Youth groups, small services, and through the relationships I have with friends and family.

God is moving – I know it.

God Bless,
Morrison
