The man they had been following had been crucified. This must have felt like the end – but then Jesus came back to them: but the rollercoaster wasn’t over as Jesus left again, ascended. How would you feel at this point: lonely, confused, upset, sad – or perhaps exhausted! But then the Holy Spirit came – can we be identified as Christians by a bubbling, infectious glow of the Spirit in us as was with the disciples then?
On a Wednesday evening between Ascension and Pentecost, members of St Mark’s and St Thomas’ churches came together in Pennington, to ask those going about their evening in the centre of the village if we could pray for them. Some said “yes” – and in a special service later that evening, we brought these prayers before God.
