We would just like to say a very BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has
donated in any way toward the children’s Christmas Parties and the
Christmas Buckets! It is greatly appreciated.
Jesus saw John the Baptist as a burning and shining lamp, afire with enthusiasm. Like
a lamp whose flame burns steadily with sufficient oil, so John was filled with a
confident belief that Jesus was the one whom all should follow. How can we testify to
Christ today? John did it by preaching. Our testimony to Christ’s presence is mainly
through the way we live out our lives. In giving the needs of others priority over our
own interests, in taking the first humbling steps towards reconciliation with someone
who has hurt us. In seeing in others the face of Christ, we bring the kingdom of God
to reality in our own time and place. Come Lord Jesus, come.

Merciful Father, you sent John the Baptist to announce the coming of you Son: inspire
all who minister in your Church to prepare for his coming again by turning us from
disobedience to your loving service; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
