Surprised by the Spirit - An Invitation from the Primate

/

A message from the Primate

We recently passed the one-year anniversary of the declaration of a global pandemic. This has been a time of extraordinary upheaval in our lives and the life of our churches. It has also been a time of discovery. We discovered the pain of many losses—personal and communal. We discovered that we are more resilient and more creative than we may have previously thought. We discovered God in our midst—and we have been Surprised by the Spirit.

I invite you to gather again, as you did in early 2019, in ‘Conversation Circles’ to explore your discoveries and surprises, and to listen for the voice of the Spirit in your midst.

Love of God

Jesus calls us to make disciples. You may be praying for people who need to know the loving presence of God in their lives. In our prayer time today we ask God to open our eyes to the opportunities to have faith conversations with people of every background. To be able to listen, to hear and to share,.

The Gospel is good news for all. We will pray for opportunities to have conversations of faith with others, that our eyes might be opened to share the love of God with those who need to hear it.

Christ’s Ambassadors

All of our churches sit in neighbourhoods. Some are downtown, others suburban, still others rural. Some are quite wealthy others less so. Often there are people around us in great need. Sometimes that material need, other times emotional and social need. is I ask you to join in prayer for our neighbourhoods and for  God’s help in directing our communities of faith to see the needs around us.
