This Sunday we will continue to ponder the great mystery of God's promises to the aging Abraham and barren Sarah. Just when doubts threatened to consume them, God Himself visits with them and restore the hope of the promise. Sarah's laughter of scoffing is turned to a laughter of joy as the most unlikely thing happens - she bears the child God had promised.As we think on this we will take the chance to reflect on the faithfulness of God in the midst of our doubts. As St Paul says in the second reading, it is while we were still sinners that the Lord Jesus died for us. God's work doesn't wait for our perfection - instead He takes up our flesh and blood, washing it clean in His forgiving love, and dares to use us in service to the world.
Divine Service will begin at 8.30am.
God's peace,
Pastor Matt
