Weekly Announcements
Thought for the week from the Rev Peter …
As the World Cup gets underway, millions of people will cheer for their favourite footballers. Some will be admired almost to the point of worship. Yet even the greatest players are simply flawed human beings like the rest of us — and most have no idea who their supporters are.
The Christian faith is different. We worship a God who knows us personally. God the Father created us, God the Son died for us, and God the Holy Spirit walks with us each day.
Unlike footballers or celebrities, the God we worship loves us even more than we love Him!
