"Holy Spirit, ever living as the church's very life; Holy Spirit, ever striving through us in a ceaseless strife; Holy Spirit, ever forming in the church the mind of Christ; you we praise with endless worship for your gifts and fruits unpriced." "Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." This is an update of what God is doing in Labrador these days.
The Holy Spirit has been working in remarkable ways - thanks be to God! - and you'll see why. One of my confirmands stepped up to say that his life has been totally different since confirmation in 2011. Scripture has changed his life! He's purchased 3 bibles since and a concordance. An older woman came forward to say she'd like to go to seminary. Another woman said to me that she smelled frankenscense and myrrh with God leading her to Ephesians 5, and finally directing her to take religious classes. A younger woman called to say she's totally inspired by scripture. Her joy is evidence of that. Another telephoned to share her excitement in a Psalm she was reading and wants to attend Bible study. All come from different facets of the congregation, and all of this has been within the last 3 weeks. Please pray for these folks and the rest of the congregation as they come to experience Christ in a living way.
Most recently, Happy Valley Moravian Church has begun it's first Stewardship series; entitled "Percentage Living", leading the congregation in the journey of prayer, worship, serving, percentage saving and spending, and devotion and sharing through tithing. Many of our congregation have stepped up to share their testimonies and offer encouraging invitations and challenges to move forward in these areas. Its been an exciting time. We've also celebrated holy baptism of 4 infants this month to add to the excitement.
Another event that's happened recently is the release of a new film highlighting the Moravian music history of Labrador over 250 years. If you would like to peruse this film, simply go to this link below. It is now available for viewing via CBC’s Video on-demand service at http://www.cbc.ca/nl/features/presents/till-we-meet-again/.
Again, thank you for your prayer support. May we all "encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called 'Today'" Hebrews 3:13
Joyfully a servant of Christ,
