FSBC E-News: Feb. 29, 2024

Welcome to Feb 29, and to the fifth edition of Fundy Seaside’s E-News!

We look forward to welcoming you and your guests at our beautiful location this week.

Scriptures to Ponder

We are in the third week of the 2024 Lent season. Know that you are not alone in seeking God. Jesus promised God’s help to those who seek Him. Jesus said, “Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.” (John 7:17 NIV).

  • Recalling and recollecting what it was like to live in lock-down in the last leap year of 2020, we are particularly mindful that our merciful God has sustained us and allowed us to arrive at this moment on Feb. 29, 2024. In hindsight, we have learnt a lot in the past 4 years about ourselves and those around us, about life and death, endurance and sickness, as well as hopefulness and hopelessness.
  • Here we are – four years later: This congregation no longer needs to be in lock-down mode. Instead, this body of Christ at Fundy Seaside is continuing to open our new doors for folks to come and gather in Jesus’ Name, and to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ Sunday after Sunday. There is much to be thankful for.
  • Today, through these Scripture verses, we are reminded that the word “leap” means to spring forth like a spring of water, the same original Greek word used in these three scenarios in the New Testament. May these Scriptures help us remember that renewal and movement start from within us by God’s mercy and His grace found in Jesus Christ. In Christ, there is always newness beneath the surface, there is always growth and increase in the midst of darkness.
