Dear Friends
I am often reminded of the words of Jesus when he said, "For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them." (Matthew 18.20)
Well, reflecting on our services during Advent and Christmas we have seen much larger congregations than 2 or 3!
Our Carol Services in all our churches, worship led by our young people, and the Plygain service at Melbourn, all exceeded our expectations in terms of numbers in the congregations and we experienced the joy of worshipping together surrounded by family, friends and neighbours from near and far.
To all of you who contributed in ways great and small, our members and our regular and very supportive ministers and lay preachers who lead our services, my heartfelt thanks for your time and commitment to our Mission Partnership.
I was privileged to be part of the Meldreth and Melbourn Week of Prayer for Christian Unity service and next week I will delight again in offering worship with ecumenical colleagues in Buntingford. At morning worship in Great Chishill we had at least five different traditions worshipping together.
It is so important for us to put aside differences of tradition and seek unity with one another. Within our Mission Partnership we have a number of opportunities to study, to worship and enjoy fellowship together. Further details can be found in our Calendar, but I would encourage you to come and listen, share and learn from one another as we seek to advance the Kingdom of God together across our partnership.
Shortly, I will be finishing my role as Interim Moderator of St Neots and my involvement with the Mid Cambridgeshire Mission Partnership. The Partnership have called Revd Alison Davis as to be their Minister and she will be inducted on the 14th February at St Ives at 2.30 pm. Please pray for Alison and for the churches within the Partnership as they move forward together.
Lent is a time for reflection, and as individuals and as churches need to make space, so that we can truly recognise the Christ in our midst.
Rather than giving something up for Lent this year, I would encourage you to set time aside to pray for our Mission Partnership and to encourage one another as we look forward to Easter joy and resurrection!
God bless you
Sue

Dear Lord,
You weep with the world
as it weeps.
Comfort your people
and help us to comfort
others.
Bring restored hope to
those we hold up before
you today.
May they know your
resurrection power.
Amen.
