— Midweek Meditations:
thoughts, inspiration and encouragement
from ACF community members —
I spent the autumn holidays with my aunt, her husband, and my cute baby cousin. They live near Mannheim. All of my relatives live further away, some in Germany, some in England.
But still, we are always in contact. Every 3 weeks we have a Skype group call with my German relatives, and every Saturday we video call my English grandparents. Then of course there are the WhatsApp family groups. We see each other from time to time in person for holiday visits or celebrations.
And somehow, it’s a bit like us Christians. We meet at church on Sundays, and maybe go to a different church sometimes. But even when we are not together, we are still somehow always connected through God, so to speak.
The ACF Midweek Meditations
are written by a diverse group of our church members with the intention to seek God’s fingerprints in our lives. They range from somber to humorous and are inspired by all facets of live and faith. Written by ordinary people from all walks of life, they reflect a wide range of Christian backgrounds and spiritualities.
Each week’s text portrays the individual viewpoint of its author. They might not always resonate with everyone, and are not meant to be understood as representing the Anglican Church Freiburg as a whole. Yet, as a church that is aiming to ‘Build a Community of Grace’ we seek to practice learning from and listening to one another.
We pray that these humble ponderings add a small spark of blessing to your week.
