1st John: Love is a verb.

By northhp

Happy Mother’s Day! We continue our series on the letter of First John. We have talked about the letter’s path of faith-hearing, seeing touching. Last week we talked about the life of faith and the importance of humility and forgiveness. We also found answers to some pretty important questions like: how do we know that we are being faithful? how can we be certain that God is with/within us? how do we deal with doubt? how can we be sure that our lives are aligned with God’s purposes? Today we will look more deeply at love as compassionate action.

Thank you to Mike and Ken, our tech team; our music coordinators, Marcia, Marilyn and Sandy, our talented choir, as well as, Rob and Katharine for lifting our spirits throughout today’s program.

About northhp

As of 2019, I will have been in ministry for 30 years (what the United church calls paid accountable service, 35 if you include those that were unpaid and accountable to a higher power, most of the time) serving the Mildmay-Neustadt Lutheran Parish, ON; St. Paul Lutheran Church, St. Laurent, QC; St. James United Church, Etobicoke, ON; and my current position with St. John's United Church of Georgetown and Glen Williams, ON. My areas of interest include Faith Formation/Christian Education, Spiritual Practices, making practical connections between faith and life, Biblical Studies (in particular the role of story in shaping or authoring our lives) and the role of spiritual practices in promoting and enhancing health.
