Greetings from Kathreen

Praise the Lord, I am very happy to be at Christ Church in Brunswick to serve the Lord with all of you. My husband Shahbaz Masih and two gorgeous and blessed boys Jeremiah and Joshua are all very happy to be here. This is my first Musing letter so, I thought I would introduce myself to all of you and wanted to say a huge thanks to Simon, Jess, and everyone for all your help and support. I really loved the welcome card; it was very lovely to read all of your prayers and support. As you all know that I have completed my study in Theology, Ministry and Mission at St Mellitus College in Liverpool which is associated with Durham University. We currently live in Oldham and are looking forward to moving very soon to Manchester. My ordination happened on 4th of July and was great. It was made extra special by seeing you all here at church.

We appreciate your prayers in this special and strange time where alongside everything else we will be thinking to move to a new home in a new town. I would like to request if you can all please pray for Jeremiah and Joshua as they are moving school and house. However, the boys feel more relaxed after seeing you all being so welcoming.

I just want to share one parting thought and prayer for you all.

Here I am Lord, Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go Lord if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.
(Hymn: I, The Lord of sea and sky)

So, I am here to hold you all in my heart and we all will together hold others in our heart to make a difference in this broken world and bring God’s love to others with the help of God. Amen.

Together we will make a difference.

Have a blessed week,

Jesus loves you all.
 
lots of Love
