5. He is with you in the valley"
John chapter 11 verses 1-6, 17-44
The valleys of life are unavoidable, unpredictable, impartial but they are also temporary. When we do face them refuse to be discouraged; remember God’s promised presence, even if you can’t feel it; rely on His protection.

“GIFTS OF THE WISE MEN”
The gift of time is one of the most important things we can give to Jesus. Without the freedom to meet together now, some realise just how much meeting with brothers and sisters on Sundays means to individuals, but more importantly tells Jesus how much He means to you.

“GOD IS WITH US IN THE ORDINARY”
Through this year, I hope we will remember the truth that we are never alone. That we trust in the presence and power of God in the ordinary things of life. If it is a concern to us, you can rest assured that it is worth taking our concerns in prayer to Him. Nothing is too trivial.

WE WANT TO SEE JESUS
In the floods, in the storms, in the pandemic, in the lockdowns, in the suffering and loss, “where is God?” has often been asked. He is there in the midst of it all. He is there in the many acts of love and community spirit.

HALLMARKS OF THE MASTER
Look at those who have the hallmark of Christ upon them, those who walk in light and live by the love of their master, and learn from them. Look for the hallmarks and pray that they may be seen in you, that God might purify you and place his seal of salvation upon you.
