From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai
United We Stand!
Dear Friends,
This week’s New Testament reading is from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. He criticises the Corinthian church for their divisions:
“Each of you says, ‘I belong to Paul’, or ‘I belong to Apollos’, or ‘I belong to Cephas’, or ‘I belong to Christ.’ “
Paul is clear: all follow Christ, no one else is important! It is a lesson for us at All Saints: to do God’s work we need to be united. See how they love one another! We are united as we enter 2023, and let us pray that we remain so, for it is our witness to the world! Find out more this Sunday at All Saints!
The readings for this Sunday will be Isaiah 9:1-4, 1 Corinthians 1:10-18, and Matthew 4:12-23, and we will be singing the hymns O Worship the King; They’ll know we are Christians; Brother, Sister, Let me Serve You; and Now Thank We All Our God!
