Journeying Together

‘Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace’
(Ephesians 4:2-3)

Church Unity always seems above us, a matter for the church authorities to negotiate.
But actually, as the word of God says here, it begins with the local church.
That means that it is the responsibility of us all. We are to be humble, gentle, patient,
and loving towards the people we see Sunday by Sunday and at other times. Too many churches
are scenes of criticism and quarrels and even division. Even if we need to disagree with one another,
it needs to be done with love, forgiveness and every effort to ‘keep the unity of the Spirit’.
This is God’s plan for us.

Questions for thought: Does my church live in unity?
Do I make every effort to foster love and care for one another?
Am I habitually critical?

God of mercy and grace, we give thanks that the nation of Rwanda has been able to rebuild
from the genocide 12 years ago. We pray for members in the Dioceses of Butare and Gazebo
as they endeavour to help those in need spiritually and in their daily lives through programs
on health and nutrition, parenting, literacy and vocational training.
We also pray for members in Bathurst Diocese and for Lorraine Mitchell
the Diocesan President, as they encourage Christian family life in their churches.
In Jesus name, Amen
