Back on the road again; we begin a new year in our lives of faith and we look forward to the end of our life’s journey when we will come into our true home in heaven.
As we make this journey of life to share our faith with others, this is the life of the church. As we begin each new year with the season of Advent we light the First Advent Candle “The Candle of Hope”. Hope springs eternal. When everything else is taken from us we can always hold on to hope. The last few years have been a great challenge, preparing the mass intentions for the newsletter, I had to appreciate that it is the 4th Anniversary since Edmund Ginn died. The number of losses that we have experienced during this time take its toll, so it is important to appreciate the new and positive events that continue to happen.
Thanks be to God, and this year will be no different. I am always grateful for the help I get (even though I may not be good at expressing it) with God’s help we will have a great opportunity to support one another. Joan Covey and company have got us off to a great start with events for the oldies, and real progress is being made as we prepare our church for a new generation. Let us be as positive as we can and “Full of Hope”.
