So deeply do we care for you that we are determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you have become very dear to us. (1 Thessalonians 2 v 8)

Reflection

A very Happy New Year to you all and I hope that as we journey through this new year that it will prove to be a little better than the last couple of very challenging and different years.

Now I don’t know about you but I tend not to make any huge New Year’s resolutions as I am only likely to set myself up for a big fall. However, that does not mean that taking very small steps should not be on the agenda - especially those steps that help me to get closer to God.

Sharing of ourselves to others: by a simple phone call to find out if someone is ok, or checking on a neighbour you haven’t seen for a while or just simply saying “Good morning’ with a smile is a good way to start this New Year.
