Pew News w/b Sunday 3rd May Easter 5

Dear All

I hope this finds you well. This is coming a bit early- before the bank holiday weekend!

Thank you to all who attended the APCM last Sunday, to everyone who contributes to the life of our church and for those who will be serving on the PCC this year. Every bit of help really does make a difference!

This Sunday the Gospel reading from John is another familiar teaching of Christ, often heard at funerals.

Jesus’ farewell words to his disciples in this discourse anticipate and assume the events that lie ahead: the crucifixion, the resurrection, and the ascension.

These are words of comfort, not condition, for the disciples. There is nothing uncertain for their present or their future because of their relationship with Jesus. Of that, Jesus wants them to be secure. As we reflected last week, Jesus knows us and we seek to know him.

Eternal God,

whose Son Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life:

grant us to walk in his way,

to rejoice in his truth,

and to share his risen life;

who is alive and reigns, now and for ever.

Amen.
