When God’s Glory is revealed our joy will be full.
It is the Glory of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit.
As we celebrate this Great Feast, we will have a celebration of baptisms at St George’s Church. This is very appropriate for them, as it bears fruit from their children’s liturgy. A corresponding amount of work has provided us with our parish council. Embedded in its foundation are the goals that are established to develop our ministries, our liturgies, our maintenance, and fundraising and social activities.
Early memories of this Feast Day in my time in the diocese was “Youth Gather”. Memories of the weather favourable for a youth ramble and social activities, and made for a very successful event. Memories of meeting people, and plans for the future.
It now leaves me on the eve of my Golden Jubilee as a priest. Tempus Fugit. So please God, as the new year unfolds we will lay out our plans for the future, focused upon the lighting of our advent candles, as expression of our plan for developing ministries. So please God, our new year will present opportunities and challenges just as new formed plants do.
