On Thursday 13 November we welcomed back our friend Connie Croly as our speaker. Connie’s talk was entitled “Moving On”. Connie reminded us that this week we commemorated Remembrance Day, giving thanks for the sacrifice made by so many to defend our freedom. We too are called to fight – to wage war against darkness and the evils in our society.

The people of God in the Old Testament knew a great deal about war, and the trumpet sounded to call them to “move on”. Christians too need to be moving forward, not backward-looking or stuck in the past.

• Are we moving on in the power of the Holy Spirit? God has promised the strength and guidance of the Holy Spirit to all who ask.
• Are we moving on in believing prayer? We need to connect with God’s power in prayer, to recharge our spiritual batteries.
• Are we moving on in our commitment to share God’s good news whenever an opportunity arises?

Connie shared some examples from her own life of chance encounters which have led to interesting conversations about the Kingdom of Heaven.
