Last Wednesday was St Luke’s day, with the church vestments showing red in recognition of the church’s martyrs. Luke was an educated Greek, a doctor, healer and preacher, who recorded the witness statements about Jesus from his closest followers. Luke never met Jesus but experienced his great power through writing the fifth book of the New Testament, the Acts of the Apostles. This great work describes the turning point between the Old and New Testaments,after Jesus’ resurrection and the coming of the Holy Spirit of God upon all his followers.
Mothers’ Union A.G.M. was also held on Wednesday, and it was good to see most ladies present after the amalgamation of Swan Hill members with the Nyah West branch. A delightful modern little book of verse about the celebration of Christmas was enthusiastically received. In these times it is lovely to see a 21st century reading of the life of Jesus Christ.
