UCJCI PEACE CAMPAIGN CONTINUES     PEACE IN THE CONGREGATION 
Peace in the Congregation should be assumed as a ‘given’. After all, are we not called to be ‘peacemakers’  and do we not possess the ‘spirit of peace’? Yet not only in today’s Church but in the New Testament Church, Paul found it necessary to encourage believers to maintain the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.

January to March 2019-  DISCIPLES IN WORSHIP “Yet a time is coming, and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” (John 4:23-24 NIV)  At the Heart of the Renewal and Transformation mandate for the United Church, is “life-giving Worship.” Life-giving worship anchors, affirms and activates our faith towards living and being “Disciples for life!”

The reading from the Gospel of Luke this Sunday brings the Magnificat to our attention. Luke’s Gospel, in general, underscores God’s preferential care towards the humble, the hungry, and the deprived, and God’s verdict upon the self-indulgent. Mary’s Song invites us to reflect on the surprising inversion in God’s actions; ‘He has brought down the powerful from their thrones and lifted up the lowly’, He has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty’.

 ‘Joy to the World, the Lord has come’ written by Isaac Watts (16741748) is still one of the most popular Christmas Carols. Originally penned as a poem, based on Psalm 98, it was included in Watt’s work entitled ‘The Psalms of David, Imitated in the New Testament’. The Carol speaks to the Second Coming of the Messiah and was initially entitled ‘The Messiah’s Coming and Kingdom’. For Watts, the Psalms find their fulfillment in the New Testament.

UCJCI Child Care and Protection Policy -17  persons complete training in CIRMC

At the 2015 Synod of the United Church in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, a Resolution was passed to develop a Child Care and Protection Policy for the whole church.  The policy not only protects our children but also protects our leaders, most of whom are volunteers. For the United Church, this is more than just writing a statement or providing guidelines, this is a powerful commitment – a totally new strategy of engagement – a church that values its children and young people above rubies. Every child matters!
