Being Energized by the Gift of the Holy Spirit.

Dear All

On Sunday 11th May we celebrate Pentecost and the gift of the Holy Spirit. The early church was established and transformed by the Holy Spirit and the first disciples of Jesus were changed from people who were fearful and despondent into people who had new vigour and ability to share their gifts and their faith with the world.

The church down the ages has been energized by the Holy Spirit and it is the presence of the Spirit which makes the church  more than an institution, for at best the Christian church represents the body of the living Christ . The Holy Spirit equips members of the church  with a variety of gifts which are given to individuals  to enable the church to grow and so that it can serve the community in which it is placed and enable the worship to take place and be effective. The church needs a variety of gifts in order to function well and  here in Falmouth we need every member to play his or her part in the life of the church and community.

I was delighted when Beverley Dobell was confirmed as a full member of the Church last month and she can now receive the sacraments on a regular basis. We need more people like Beverley in our church; people who are willing to serve God and willing to learn and who display humility and yet can remain cheerful and hopeful. There have been encouraging signs at KCM church in recent weeks with more people applying for Baptisms and with some new people joining our church. I hope that our church will continue to grow and may we all be energized by the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Yours sincerely

Stephen Tudgey
