Come together


Have a seat.  Spotted in Budapest during our Presbytery weekend

 

For wherever two or three people come together in my name, I am there, right among you!
(Matt 18:20, J.B. Phillips New Testament)

 
 
The Presbytery of International Charges of the Church of Scotland gathered in Budapest this past weekend, hosted by the congregation there. I testify that Jesus was with us – in our worship, in our meetings and in the informal gatherings, as we strengthened our bounds and offered one another support and encouragement.

It is my prayer that our respective congregations will benefit too, as we return with wisdom, inspiration and hope for the months and years ahead.
 


Closing commission

We have sung, we have prayed,
we have worshiped together.
Now we go back out into the world.
We came together to build relationships,
relationships with each other,
and our relationship with Jesus.

We go out as people who are strengthened by our connections,
ready to love and to serve;
ready to carry God’s love to the world.

As you journey through the ups and the downs of the coming week,
let us remember that God,
who has invited us into relationship,
is always with us.

Go with God, as the people of God.
So be it! Amen
