Message from our Minister
Revd. Jane Barron
Dear Friends,
Jesus always had time for children. On one occasion when the disciples were trying to protect Jesus from too much intrusion, by sending the children away, Jesus firmly corrected them and said, 'Let the children come to me and don't try to stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it.'I should imagine that Jesus too felt his spirits lifted and his tiredness relieved in the presence of children and they too would be drawn to his love and care and acceptance of them.
We are never too old to experience that sense of wonder as we make a new discovery about God and His love for us, and there is so much of the kingdom of God to discover each and every day.
In humility, obedience, trust, faith and eagerness we experience the kingdom of God all around us, as a little child.
If we have forgotten how to do this then watching a child make a new discovery will help us to remember.
With all my love to you all
Jane
