OUR VISION
"Go, then, to all peoples, everywhere... you will be witnesses for me to the ends of the earth."
Jesus of Nazareth, c 30 AD
"We are a living and faithful presence for Jesus Christ through Europe and beyond, witnessing from places of need to corridors of power, and offering a spiritual home to all people.
"International Presbytery, 2016 AD
Thought for Saturday 6th March 2021
(from Rev E. Foggitt)
Psalm 22:23-24a
“You who fear the Lord, praise him!... For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one...”
Ps22 begins with the agonised cry: “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” which Jesus uttered on the cross. Yet somehow - through patient perseverance - the psalmist comes to rediscover the presence of God in his life.
Reflection: “Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come.” (Anne Lamott)
