These few verses are headed in my Bible “The Believers share their possessions” and it tells how the early Christians lived together after Jesus had ascended back to heaven (which is remembered on the 17th May) They met together regularly, shared meals together, prayed together, worshipped together and shared the resources they had so that no one was in need.

When you consider this way of living, along with the fact that the apostles prayed for those who were sick – people would also bring the sick on their mats into the streets “so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by…and all of them were healed” (Acts Ch. 5 Verses 15 &16) and it is little wonder that the number who believed in Jesus Christ as the Son of God increased dramatically.

Before we remember Ascension Day we have Christian Aid week from the 13-19th May. Christian Aid is the agency of the churches in the UK and Ireland. They currently work in 47 countries, giving people the tools to help themselves out of poverty. Help is given through monies raised to some of the poorest people in the world. Collectors will be round with those distinctive red envelopes and all contributions are much appreciated (it isn’t easy going round knocking on doors so please be nice to them!!)

By giving in this way, we are continuing on from the example of the early Christians who organised themselves in such a way that the needy were helped. It is a huge encouragement to people in far off places to know that they are remembered, prayed for and helped.

The following week sees the start of the Nailsworth Festival (19-27th) and there are loads of interesting events as detailed in the official brochure or on the website www.nailsworthfestival.org.uk. All this, and I haven’t mentioned the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebrations yet at the beginning of next month. Spoilt for choice?!

Reverend Stephen Earley.
