THE GREATEST THING

“Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods?

Who is like You, majestic in holiness,

awesome in splendour, doing wonders?”

EXODUS 15 : 11 (NRSV)

Love is the greatest thing that God can give us, and it is the

greatest thing we can give to God. It is the old; it is the new;

it is the great commandment; it is all the commandments.

The consideration of God’s goodness and bounty are most

commonly the first motive of our love. But when we are

once entered and have tasted the goodness of God, we love

the source for its own excellence.

Perfection and admiration create love. For perfection and

admiration, there is in God an infinite nature, unchanging,

eternal, all-powerful, holy, merciful, just and perfect. The

consideration of which may be heightened if we consider our

distance from all these glories: our smallness, limited nature,

inconstancy, weakness, ignorance, poverty, harsh nature and

unmerciful inclinations.

Love does all things that may please the beloved person.

Love is obedient. Love gives away all things to advance the

interest of the beloved person. Love is always liberal and

expressive. It suffers all things that are imposed by its

beloved. Love is patient and content with anything, provided

it can be with its beloved. Love is also impatient of anything

that may displease the beloved. Love is not divided between

God and God’s enemy. We must love God with all our

heart; that is, give Him a whole and undivided affection, having

love for nothing else but such things which He allows and

which He commands or loves Himself.

This confidential ministry assists members of St. John’s who are unable

to make ends meet with the state grants / pensions.

Your monthly contributions to this vital ministry are deeply appreciated.

TRAVELLING SUPPER

Friday 29 September starting at 17h30. This is a wonderful time for the church to get to know our young people, by allowing them to

invade your home and sharing a STARTER, MAIN COURSE or DESSERT

with them. If you would like to host them, please contact Belinda or Potter’s House to make the necessary arrangements.

HERITAGE DAY FOOD FESTIVAL SUNDAY 24 SEPTEMBER

At 10h00 (between our two

services) we will be sampling the

exciting flavours of our different

heritages. We are inviting members of the congregation to prepare their favourite traditional dish (savoury or

sweet) and bring it on Sunday wearing your traditional clothes. Our co-

ordinators are Nomhlobo Sinuka or Polelwa Fono. Please let them know

what you will be bringing.

This will be an amazing & blessed experience as we try each other’s

food as we share and eat together
