Message from Rev Matthew Frankum
“The recession is affecting many in our neighbourhood. As the economy slows and businesses cut back, young people struggle to find employment and workers lose their jobs. Families are worried about debt or losing their home. Older people fear their standard of living must fall, as retirement savings decline in value.
With so many of the things we have taken for granted now failing, many people are troubled and anxious about the future.
Being a Christian does not provide magical protection from redundancy or financial insecurity. But our faith in Jesus does help us to withstand the storm.
Ask any Christian and they will tell you how often their faith has sustained them through great difficulties. Many will have come to know Jesus at the most challenging times of their lives. God will always give us the resources we need to manage. He provides for our needs. He is at our side through our troubles. When we ask him for help, he will always respond.
The financial crisis has brought home in a powerful and painful way that we have been trusting in the wrong things to bring us security. But it has also created an opportunity to think again about what really is important and valuable in our lives.
St Luke’s is open on most weekday mornings from 10.30 so come in, sit down and make yourself at home. Enjoy the peace and quiet. Pray or read one of our Bibles if you want to. There is always someone around if you want company.
Whoever you are, St Luke’s is your parish church. You don’t have to be a Christian or believe in God to come along.”
