Pew News for w/b Sunday 9th February 4th before Lent

Dear All
 
I hope this finds you well and keeping warm!
 
When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him   Luke 5:11
This week our Gospel focusses on the calling of Peter, James and John, fishermen working on the Lake of Galilee.The calling of Jesus to follow Him meant that they were to change the focus of their skills- from catching fish in the water to catching people for God. This change would require different things of the fishermen, but Jesus knew their potential- as He does us.
 
As we reflect on Christ’s ongoing calling to us to follow Him, what skills, gifts or time might we be able to offer to His Church? 
 
There is one body and one Spirit, 
just as you can been called in the one hope of your calling; 
one Lord, one faith, one baptism. 
Make your way in the world worthy of your calling.
 
Words for commissioning of lay people for ministry from Songs for the Journey

Come Holy Spirit, show us your beauty

That all are important and all are necessary.

Different faces of the one humanity

That God so loves.

Amen.
