A Snapshot of the Father's Day Services Friday Jun 21, 2024
	Many of our churches celebrated Father's Day this past Sunday. Befitting the occasion, the women took charge, leading the worship, preaching, reading the Scripture passages, making announcements, and leading the prayers in our congregations. The children and youth added a special touch with their contributions. Central to the worship was the message on God as our Heavenly Father and the biblical role of earthly fathers, emphasizing their responsibilities and impact. please click here for more information (PDF file)

Re-Ignited to Deepened Faith by God’s Spirit - Mr. Bryan Bothwell Thursday Jun 13, 2024
	This Sunday, June 16, 2024, Father’s Day will be celebrated. We thank God for all those who share in that crucial and joyful role of a father. The role is so crucial that fathers and mothers are highlighted for “honour” in the Ten Commandments! Though let us not see that as an isolated requirement on children. How do our children develop such noble character, that they are able to honour us in word and deed? please click here for more information (PDF file)

Re-Ignited to Deepened Faith When We Cry Out to God - Ms. Catherine Gomez Thursday Jun 06, 2024
	Please read 1 Samuel 8: 4 – 20 According to 1 Samuel 8: 4 – 20, Samuel’s sons forsook the faith of their father, and the elders of Israel came together, approached Samuel, and called for a King, symbolizing the end of the era of the prophets. Samuel was not pleased with this request, so he prayed to God. God told Samuel, “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected Me as their King.’ God viewed their request as a lack of faith in God’s authority. In our world today there are many things that indicate a lack of faith in God’s authority. I offer three things: fear, denial, and displaced faith. please click here for more information (PDF file)

Re-Ignited to Deepened Faith by knowing God’s Spirit - Rev. Louis-Herard Sully Thursday May 30, 2024
	Please read 1 Samuel 3:1-10, (11-20) Listening is the art of receiving sounds that are processed and identified by our brain and then converted into messages. But there are some sounds that are received that may or may not be processed because the language is unknown to our brain. When one is familiar with a language, once it is being spoken, your brain will process it and you will understand the message from the sound that your brain received. Once the language is unknown it will not be processed. To know a language, you must learn it for your brain to be familiar with it. For example: the world is speaking a language through technology and many people refuse to learn it. Which means some will be left behind as technology evolves. please click here for more information (PDF file)

The Church Today - Reignited by God’s Spirit - Rev. Dr. Yvette Noble-Bloomfield Thursday May 16, 2024
	Please read Acts 1:1-21 On May 19, 2024, the Church Universal will celebrate the Day of Pentecost. This Sunday is also known as Whitsunday. Pentecost commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Disciples of Jesus who were gathered in the Upper Room in Jerusalem. This infilling of the Holy Spirit enabled the once timid and afraid Disciples and the others gathered to become the bold proclaimers of the Gospel. Jesus had told them in Acts 1:8, that they would be filled with the Holy Spirit (power/dynamis) and that they would become witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaira, and the uttermost parts of the earth. This promise of Jesus to the Disciples was therefore fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost. The Greek word Pentecost means fifty and the Jews used the term to demarcate the Jewish agricultural festival which occurred fifty days Pasch or Passover. Pentecost celebrated the wheat harvest which was one of the pilgrim festivals for the Jews. The celebration of this festival accounted for the large throng that gathered in Jerusalem who became witnesses to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Disciples. Some of the people present politely asked, ‘What does this mean?’ Others concluded that those who were filled with the Spirit were filled with new wine and therefore were highly intoxicated. This was indeed a new moment for the Disciples as they received the power of the Holy Spirit and started to speak in languages that were understood by all who were gathered in Jerusalem. please click here for more information (PDF file)

‘YOU COULD BE NURTURING A MOSES’ - Mrs. Sonia Wallace Monday May 13, 2024
	To all mothers, the United Church in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands honor you as God’s nurturers to your families. In the Bible, nurturing is conveyed using the Greek word paideia, which denotes the training of a child and includes giving instruction and discipline. The Latin derivative of the word nurture means nourish. When one nourishes a child, it implies cherishing, protecting, and tending lovingly with care. Therefore, I am aware that the words nurture and/or nourish in the Bible include spiritual, educational, emotional, and physical instruction and care of a child. please click here for more information (PDF file)

My Life Journey - Mr. Michael Bowerman Friday May 03, 2024
	On May 1st, I reached a significant milestone in my life. Inevitably, such a moment has caused me to reflect on my journey of life, one that is unique, as everyone’s is, but also has things in common with others. My reflections on the years I have lived have caused me think of some of the lessons for my life that God has taught me. I trust you might indulge me as I share some of these as a challenge and encouragement for those who are believers. please click here for more information (PDF file)
