Leader :Rev.Alan Hindmarch   “Come let us celebrate”                                                       Reading :  Corinthians 13  Love  – If I speak  the tongue of men or angels but do not have love I am but a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  Life is nothing without love.  There are three things in  life  Faith Hope and Love  but the greatest of these is Love.   Love is patient, love is kind , it does not envy,  it does not boast, it is not proud, it does not dishonour others,  it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs, love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth, it alwasy  protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails.  God is Love

Leader : Rev. Suzanne Nockels                                                                                                 Psalm 103  Come and see what the Lord has done.

One month into the new year   what has God done for you ?      We have health, we have food to eat, there are volunteers to help the needy,  God is the source of who we are.

Luke 17 11-19   Jesus  heals the 10 men    Suzanne told us about the exhibition in the Millenium Gallery of sketches by Leonardo De Vinci of the human body.    In the reading there were ten men who had some affliction that prevented them from being with their families    they were united in the group by their suffering.   The had herd about Jesus ad they stood afar off and asked Him to heal them.   He told them to go to the Temple and they would be healed  –  they rushed off to do this    but one man came back to thank Jesus  – who asked ” where are the other nine?”    because of his return the man was cured.    Are we aware of what God is doing for us  or are we in too much of a rush to notice?    god brings people baack inato society   some just to beo rdinary but others are made whole and are aware of what He had done for them and what he can do for others.
