SOMETHING TO THINK AND PRAY ABOUT THIS WEEK
A Light Shines In The Darkness
There is much darkness in our world, many wildernesses to navigate in our society, our communities, and our relationships with one another. From time to time, someone comes on the scene to shine a light into that darkness. A mediator steps into a family feud, a young climate activist ignites a global movement, millions of young people become politically engaged, a mentor gives the right advice at just the right time, a friend makes a phone call that brightens up someone’s day, a community opens their hearts to refugees. We all experience wilderness in our lives at various times. When in these desert spaces, remember that God’s grace can come at any moment. Somewhere in the dark, a light shines that the darkness cannot overcome.

We remember at this time...
Halloween, or All Hallows’ Eve, is celebrated by many people across the world on the 31st of October. Although Halloween is often associated with pagan customs, darkness and the celebration of things frightening or evil, it can also be viewed as a time to reflect on the changing seasons, the end of the harvest and the coming of winter.
As the plants and trees wither and the earth appears to grow lifeless, we are reminded of our own mortality. Yet, for Christians, death is not the end. Just as nature awakens and new life emerges in spring, we look forward with hope to the promise of new life through our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
