2020 Jan greetings

Now about your love for one another we do not need to write to you … Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more, ¹¹ and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders.

 1 Thess 4:9-12 (NIV)

This year MCS celebrates 135 years of God’s kindness in allowing The Methodist Church to exist as a channel of God’s love and hope. May the prayer of the apostle Paul for the church in Thessalonica be our prayer for MCS: that we not only celebrate the love shown to our communities in the past 135 years, but that we will “do so more and more.”

I pray this for my family, and yours, that together we may “make it (our) ambition to lead a quiet life” of showing “more and more” the love of God to all whom we live and work amongst each day. Amen.
