Vicars’ Letter
May 2008
As we come out of the season of Easter we should never forget that we are always an Easter People and that we are People of the Resurrection here, now and always whatever the season.
As we prepare to enter the season of Pentecost, we are reminded that we also have not just the new life of the Resurrection to share with Jesus here and now, but also the ability to do extraordinary things through the power of the Holy Spirit. We often pray for the Holy Spirit to be within us, but if we are truthful we hope that God will pass us by so that we may not have to commit ourselves to our responsibilities to him and to our neighbour.
Being part of God’s Worshipping Community is a privilege which gives us many rights. It also gives us many responsibilities if we are to truly be his people.
Availing ourselves to the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and all other times of the year is the awesome responsibility of the Christian. At Pentecost ordinary people did extraordinary things for God. Nothing has changed.
