Reflection
God provided a mysterious food called manna for the Israelites during their time in the desert. However, they were told not to stockpile the manna but to gather only what they needed for one day. Jesus told his disciples not to worry about tomorrow. He said “ When you pray to your heavenly Father, you are to say, ‘Give us this day our daily bread.’” No matter how difficult life may be, for those who trust in God and who live a day at a time, the manna falls every day.
Thanks and good luck
After a year of friendship and hard work, we say thank you and farewell to Bro Solomon and Bro David, who are leaving the community this week. They are moving on to start their theology studies in London. We thank them for their presence, their friendship and for all the work they have done around the Parish. We ask God to bless them in their studies and future ministry.
Holidays
Fr Brian will be away on holiday from 6th – 27th August. While he is away, Fr Tony Frain, Fr Bob Gardner and Fr Ste Lloyd will be covering the Parish for a week each. I know you will give them a good St James’ welcome and support them while they are here.
