aving crossed the threshold of 2011/2012, I wish you a blessed and a very successful year ahead. At the beginning of a new year it is always a joy to look ahead with hope and expectation of greater things to come. However, we do not just expect these to materialise, we know that we have to do our part and the Lord’s blessing will then be to grant and increase upon whatever we have done. Now something personal, on the occasion of my recent birthday I was presented with a beautiful book with messages written by the Sunday School children in my home congregation, These messages brought home to me the realisation of the depth of the relationship and the love and trust that our New Apostolic children have with our Heavenly Father. The year 2012 will be under the banner “Year of Children and Youth Activity”. This is not just
about entertainment activities for our younger generations but a focus on the importance of contributing to the work in the congregation. This made a very deep impact on me and it gives further hope and confidence in the future. Little wonder the Lord Jesus said: “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven” (see Matthew 18:3). May we all take a lesson out of this and recognise the example that children so often set and that all people, irrespective of age, do well to follow.
