Lent II - 1 March 2026
Lent II - 1 March 2026
Dear Friends,
It’s hard to believe this Sunday we will be in March; already!
I am grateful to everyone who participated in our Parish Annual General Meeting and for such positive outcomes. I welcome the newly elected Helen Donovan and Richard Ponsonby and Bronwen Thomas (who is continuing) as our Church Wardens this year.
The other newly elected member of Parish Council is Nigel Jones. I thank last year’s Parish Council for their positive and constructive approach to business and look forward to working with the new PC.
As I mentioned in my report (and a corrected version is attached to this GNT) we continue to have considerable challenges in maintenance, administration and finance ahead of us, BUT we have begun growing as a church.
Please let me again thank all involved in making St Michael’s truly a place where God is faithfully worshipped, where God’s people are nourished and from whence God’s love, life and hope are shared into our community.
Your feedback on our ‘positive’ approach to Lent this year has been helpful. Jesus’s time in the wilderness, upon which our Lent tradition is based, was time for Jesus to take his relationship with God the Father to a new and stronger level, a time of preparation for what was ahead. Jesus gave up some things for a while so that he could take up other things. Jesus in the wilderness, away from the normal routine of the world, had time to pray, time to reflect upon the Word of the Lord, and time to be tested and to prepare for his life and ministry ahead.
Like Jesus, this Lent is our opportunity to strengthen our relationship with God the Father. I encourage you to find some time, to give up whatever you need to, so that you too can listen to God and learn to let God’s Holy Spirit produce love, hope, peace and even joy in your relationship and life with God. Remember the mobile phone God gave you for Christmas – it’s time to start using it to talk to and listen to God.
Portia’s confirmation by Bishop Rob this Sunday, is affirmation of her call to ‘live as a disciple of Christ’. This is God’s call to each of us so, please join us for this celebration of life and hope in our church.
Grace and peace and hope and life,
ROB
