Thought for the Week from MU - Sunday 3 July 2016

Celebration: As we gather round the table to partake

together in communion, we celebrate the precious gift of

Christ. As we take the bread and wine, we anticipate the

day when in endless celebration we will feast with the

risen Christ. “They celebrate your abundant goodness

and joyfully sing of your righteousness.” (Psalm 145.7)

We celebrate the work of MU in the Windward Islands.

Members there are involved in a variety of projects includ-

ing parenting programmes, educational projects that as-

sist needy students, caring for children in children’s

homes, feeding the poor and needy and providing medical

assistance. We pray for them as they face the challenges

of the present. May they know your blessing and be filled

with faith for the future.
