Faith, Hope and Love

As we look back at the interregnum,
as like the summer it draws to an end,
what can we learn from it?

Perhaps we can say that its our Faith in Christ,
and in each other, that has seen Christ’s body at St. Martins,(which is everyone of us! ) continue God’s work towards his Kingdom during this time.

Perhaps we can say that is that the Hope,
that the sacrifice of Jesus has made possible in this life and the next,
that has made the hopeful wait for God’s next shepherd
at St. Martins all the more eagerly awaited.

But we can certainly say that Love,
the Love of Christ for us all,
the faithful love of God,
and the Hope that the Holy Spirit has kept before us,
that has helped our Prayers, Fellowship and progress in this testing time .

As the concluding verses of 1 Corinthians 13 : 1-13, state:

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love
But the greatest of these is love.

May God continue to bless us.

Phill.
