Have you ever called a company or business or government agency and been put on hold for so long with a soothing repeat message saying “your call is important to us” interspersed with nondescript mind numbing music. Then 90 minutes later when the repetitive sequence of sounds change to something like “Hello, this is ____ how may I help you?”, you stumble around, a bit lost, quickly trying to gather your thoughts and remember why on earth you called in the first place and even ask yourself… what’s my name again?. I wonder if sometimes life can seem a bit like that. An endless loop of monotony that has numbed the senses too deeply to notice.Along comes Jesus and says: “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.” John 14:6. A promise of direction, the cut through of actual, real, pure truth and life that is more than simply default living. And how do we break the loop and get through to the purpose of the phone call that is our lives? It seems that Jesus is saying he is the only way. What do you think?This Sunday at BCUC is anything but monotonous and default living. Come along Sunday and be part of the abundant life of Jesus. We start at 9:30am in the car park with the grand opening of the new Hub area. We then move to the 10.00am worship service for some dance lessons with Freestyle Dance ministry, join in prayer and thanksgiving at the baptism of Ivory Ofoedu, we worship together looking more deeply at this passage from John 14 while the younger people (and the young at heart) have a dance workshop at the new Hub area, then we finish with games, activities, BBQ fellowship and more. All you need to do is send out the invite and bring someone along! What a day to be alive.Grace and peace in Christ,Benji
