December Minister's Letter

12/1/2019

0 Comments

 
Dear All,
As a minister, life is very unpredictable. What is nice about Christmas is it always happens on 25th December. The season of Christmas is well signposted with Advent, Nine Lessons and Carols, and the joy of Christmas Morning where we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour. We will no doubt be waking up to an array of presents, some unexpected, and some because of all the hints (e.g. a video doorbell so that I can see who is at the door so I do not have to get up) that you have dropped have been received and acted upon. 
 
Following Jesus, of course, is unpredictable because we try to imitate the love that Christ offers and that can sometimes be nigh on impossible without the help of the Holy Spirit. But if we have love in our heart for all people, irrespective of who they are, and demonstrate that love, then not only will this be a most blessed Christmas for us, we could be the answer to other people’s prayers, which means we could make it feel like Christmas for others.

Blessings,
​Martin

    I have been ordained as a minister for 18 years, working on my own and within a team. I am currently the minister at Gants Hill URC as well as one of the ministers at Wanstead URC. I also have 34 years of banking behind me, during which I enjoyed developing teams and working to deadlines. Pastoral care, preaching, being alongside people and journeying with members of congregations on their spiritual journeys are my delights.
