The celebration of Pentecost marks the end of Eastertide and the beginning of what is called Ordinary Time. I always think this is a misnomer as nothing is ordinary in God’s eyes. We all have gifts and talents and nobody is better than anyone else. Standing at the front and preaching the Gospel does not make me any more gifted than the person who serves the tea and cake after the service. In fact if I’m honest people are more likely to remember the cake than the sermon. We are all called to serve in our own ways, but whatever little we have to offer, God will accept it and make it extraordinary
The key to our service is prayer and God’s Word and I would like to know people’s views on starting a prayer meeting/Bible study. If you are interested please let me know whether you would prefer day time or evening, in the church or someone’s home. It would be quite informal and no previous experience is necessary. Perhaps the phrase Bible study is too formal, it sounds as though there is an exam to pass - Gulp ! Let’s just read a passage together and see where it leads us. Who knows it could be an adventure.
