🍷🍞 Communion is not only about me and Jesus. It is also about how we love and treat one another.

As we come to the Lord’s Table, let us choose to:

♥️ Forgive others with grace.
💙 Make room for others with patience.
💜 Honour others with humility.
🧡 Comfort others with compassion.
💕 Love others as Christ loves us.

May Christ’s love and peace shape the way we live together as one body.

One table. One body. One love in Christ. ❤️

Father in heaven we bring ourselves so humbly into your presence – you are so big, we are so small

Jesus we bring ourselves humbly into your presence – you did so much for us and we are often just indifferent and ungrateful. We are sorry.

Spirit we bring ourselves humbly into your presence – we live our lives thinking we can do it without you. We are sorry. Come cleanse us and fill us again this morning. AMEN

Bible Verse of the Week ❤
"Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."
(Philippians 2:1-4)

🤝 Unity: Refusing to choose sides

Church unity doesn’t mean we always agree. It means choosing to love, listen, and forgive one another, even when we disagree.

This week, let’s take the first step towards reconciliation, lay down our anger and hurt at the cross, and extend the same grace to others that Christ has shown us.🙏

🌟Are you expecting, waiting for and longing for Jesus’ return? Are you excited about that day?

❤️Are you excited and ready? Can’t you wait to meet Jesus?

☝🏻If Jesus walked in here today, what would He say to you and to us as a church? Would He be pleased and say, “Well done good and faithful servant! Come into heaven and celebrate!”?
Or would He say, “You wicked, lazy servant!”?

Bible Verse of the Week ❤
Matthew 24:42-44
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

"A New Life Begins"

🎉Today is a very special day because we have sisters getting baptized!

Baptism is our public "citizenship day" declaring that we belong to Jesus, our King.
It’s not a finish line, but the starting line of our lifelong race into God's harvest.
Wherever we are in our faith journey, Jesus promises: "I am with you always."

Let's keep encouraging one another to run together! 🙏✨

❤️ Serving God and seeking first his Kingdom is never a mistake (Matt 6:33, 1 Cor 15:58). There will be hard work, setbacks, disappointments, but we persevere because we know the result.

🌟 Let us first be responsible for our own hearts and slow to judge others. Allow time and the work of the Spirit to bring repentance.
