It’s difficult to give away kindness. It keeps coming back to you.
“TELL AMONG THE NATIONS HIS STORY”The above invitation in Sunday’s psalm is made possible by Jesus’ farewell assurance to his disciples,
“Behold I am with you always until the end of time”.
As it is the Word of God, it always brings about what it says. No matter where we witness at home or abroad, we are part of the Body of Christ. It is only in the
measure of our relationship with, and our commitment to Jesus that our lives and words are effective. For today we focus on one specific area of the Church’s witnessing mission - the area of those called
to serve Him beyond the home boundaries to places where His name is unknown. Our prayer, finances
and personal service can support and help them, “tell among the Nations His story”.
MISSION SUNDAY - 19th October World Mission Sunday reminds us of our role as disciples of Jesus. Today we are called upon to play our role in helping to bring the word of God to those who are still hungry for his message. We are given the opportunity to share in the experience of our brothers and sisters who carry on the missionary task today as they ‘Go and Tell’, often in difficult and dangerous circumstances. Our spiritual and material offerings are crucial for the continued work of missionaries throughout the world, allowing them to share God’s love and compassion.
The total raised in today’s collection will be sent in its entirety to support various mission projects.
Please give what you can afford, every gift – no matter how small- makes a difference.
