FAITH IN FOCUS:
SOMETHING
O
ften the closer
we are to something, the less clearly we
see it. We might go on holiday to a beautiful island
paradise only to find that
the locals take the sunshine, the palm trees and
the gentle pace for granted.
It’s not uncommon for Parisian
or Roman taxi
drivers to consider the Arc de Triomphe or the
Colosseum as
mere traffic islands to be negotiated with difficulty at rush
hour. We tend not to appreciate the wonders around
us when we see them every day.
The same can be true for
Christians who live cheek
by jowl with their faith. We
can end up downsizing the
importance of what we believe because we package
it into sound-bites such as
“God is love” or “Love your
neighbour as yourself”. And
if our faith and religion is
reduced to maxims then it
COMPLETELY NEW
has to compete with all other political, commercial and
recreational claims on our
time and talent. And thus it
becomes relativised.
So Christianity is in danger
of being seen as just one
way of spending our spare
time, along with party politics, sport, caravanning,
bird-watching or knitting.
And we get sucked into
thinking that tolerance demands of us that we make
no greater claim for our
faith than we do about our
hobbies and our interests.
After all, it would be indecent to make a lot of noise
about our faith, wouldn’t it?
Especially if faith is a private thing.
But Christians don’t think
like that. We don’t consider
our belief in Jesus Christ to
be a take-it-or-leave-it af-
fair. It’s not merely like being a member of a wine
club or a social networking
group. For Christians, faith
in Jesus is massive; it is the
single most important factor
in our lives because it determines who we are and
how we behave. To be a
Christian is not simply a
“nice” thing; it’s totally consuming
because it informs
every aspect of our
living and breathing.
In today’s scripture
God says, “Now I
am making the
whole of creation new”. The
resurrection of Jesus
changes everything. The
old order is wiped away,
death and evil have lost
their power to keep us held
captive, and we are offered
a radically new and eternal
life that has already begun
now and that will come to
fulfilment the other side of
the grave. There is nothing
“same-old” about our Christian faith. It’s something
that can transform the
whole of creation.
Sacrament of Baptism
We welcome into our parish Community Seren Smith who is
baptised here today/
Sunday during the Mass.
As Christopher Smith and
Lucy Smith give thanks
to God for the gift of
Seren, may she in turn bring many
blessings and much happiness to
them.
Chris and Lucy would like you to join
them and their family for the refreshments in the Hall after the Mass.

If we were willing to learn the meaning of real
discipleship and actually to become disciples, the Church iwould be transformed, and
the resultant impact on society would be
staggering.

Mold Cytun : Parkfields
Pentecost Lunch Meetings
Monday 25 April, 12.30pm :
The World and its climate
Speaker: Rev Dr Mike Ward
Chair: Ken Chisholm
Cytun News
"It aint what you do it's the way that you do
it". This is the L'Arche difference, we
found out at the Parkfield Lunch last week.
The Core Members are at the heart of decision making within a L'Ache Community,
and their unique and joyful outlook on life
can transform their carers and volunteers
in unexpected ways. The hope or Flintshire
L'Arche is to have an integrated community of Core Members and retirees in
Mold, working with and for the wider community, within the next few years. We wish
them well.
Cytun are holding a light hearted and informal quiz with refreshments on Friday 29th
April at 7 30, Tyddyn St.
All are welcome.
Cytun AGM is on Friday 6th May at 2 pm
in the Salvation Army Centre, Wrexham
Rd. All are welcome to come and meet
those from other churches, and see what
goes on. Mena Kerlslake &Sue Cocker
