Dear All Saints and St Marys
The month of August has been a bible extravaganza as people in churches across the globe have listened to the whole of Chapter 6 of St John's gospel and the conversations and reflections that are inspired by the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000.
It has also been a month when the Letter that St Paul wrote to the very early, young and emerging church in Ephesus has been read. Both this letter and gospel chapter come to a finale this Bank Holiday Sunday. We are asked to think on the disciple St Peter and his acclamation of Jesus " You have the words of eternal life, we have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God". St Paul speaks uses metaphors of putting on the armour of a Christian life that seeks justice, peace and truth.
And so Christians are asked again through these words what is it that we believe and know about Jesus? And what difference does that make to our lives and those around us? How do we protect and discern truth, peace and justice. May we be blessed with the company of each other and Christ this weekend in worship and fellowship whether that is in the breaking of bread or through shared food, reflection and discussion at cafe church.
