Sunday 4th February
Welcome to St Nicks on Sunday 4th February.
Hi St Nick’s Kingsway,
I’ve become more aware of the darkness this winter. I don’t know if it’s because it’s been particularly bad or maybe there is a sense of maturity that continues to see the dark winter days and nights as a threat to human flourishing.
This time last year I was sat on the beach in Antigua reading a book and drinking one of my favourite drinks. It was delightful. But I think God has been teaching me to be “content in all things”. The Apostle Paul writes in the Book of Philippians: I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
God is calling us to be content in all we have and have been given. This year, I hope and pray we as a church community would continue to flourish as we Know, Grow and Share the love of God in Christ.
