Dear friends,
This week in Church we shall be looking at the lovely passage where Jesus meets two of his disciples on the road to Emmaus. It’s a fascinating encounter where the disciples finally have a lightbulb moment realising who Jesus really is. The thing is, despite our efforts to keep him out, God often intrudes our lives - perhaps exactly when we least expect it. The life of Jesus is bracketed by two impossibilities: "a virgin's womb and an empty tomb". Jesus entered our world through a door marked,"No Entrance" and left through a door marked "No Exit." He is God of impossibilities. I hope that this week you’ll know and trust in God’s remarkable power to come alongside us and meet us where we are despite our fears, feelings and failures. Be blessed!
This Saturday there is a garden tidy up afternoon planned at St. Stephens from 12.30 onwards & final reminder that Sunday after the Basildon service is the Annual Meeting. Paperwork can be found online or in the lobby of the church.
Love,
Grant
