Dear friends, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16 ESV) This famous verse encapsulates the essence of the Christian faith - God's love and His gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. It reveals the depth of God's love for humanity, a love so great that He was willing to sacrifice His only Son for our sake. Through Jesus, we are offered eternal life, a life that is not bound by earthly limitations. This eternal life is a gift available to all who believe in Him, transcending time and space to offer us a future with God that knows no end. This life with God is an adventure we try and share and encourage with others across all our churches and with everybody from youngest to eldest. This week then, may we be reminded of the incredible love that God has shown us and the ultimate sacrifice made on our behalf. Let us embrace this gift with gratitude and live our lives in response to such extraordinary love. Join us this weekend. Love, Revd Grant
