One of the hardest things to do in living the Christian life is to maintain a sense of God’s peace. With impending death hanging over him, Jesus endeavoured to comfort his disciples, ‘Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.’ John 14:27 (NIV) ...
There is a peace that the world gives, but that peace is so fragile, compared to the peace that Jesus gives. I read in a devotional recently that “the peace of God hovers over us searching for a place to land.” That beautiful thought set me thinking. I tend to see the Spirit of God hovering over us. But that does mean peace, also, as a fruit of the Spirit. (See Galatians 5:22-23)
Let me digress for a moment. There is darkness, and an aircraft needs to land. The pilot searches for the lights of the landing strip. He sees those lights and touches down safely. In a similar way, the Spirit of God hovers over us, searching for the Light of the World, Jesus. The Spirit sees the light of Jesus in us, knows we are ready to receive him, and touches down. When that happens we experience the revitalising presence of the Spirit, and the fruit of the Spirit, one of which is peace. ‘…….wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.’ 2 Corinthians 3:17 (NLT) Freedom from anxiety, fear, etc.. Peace! Grace peace and love to all — Bill Rosier |

So far we do not have any record of virus transmission related to our church service on Sunday. One strategy we have used is cross ventilation. And wear a mask, please To this point in time, we have been very successful at Wesley in responding to the coronavirus pandemic that has been with us for more than two years. The movement of air through a building substantially reduces the risk of cross-infection. By opening doors and windows around the church, we move air in and out of the building and reduce the risk of airborne transmission. Please wear warm clothing on cold days! The other successful strategy is the wearing of a mask. This is no longer mandatory, but is highly recommended by NSW Health.
