Message: Holy and Blessed
Raish talks about Mary's visit to Elizabeth
Mary has been reflecting on the angel's message. She remembers God's kindness to Israel and is humbled that He has noticed her, She is spiritually minded and, although there is the potential for scandal, she trusts God.
It is more difficult to love, trust and feel warm to God when the storms come but many in the fellowship have done so.
Even though she has been chosen to be the mother of God's son, she knows that even she needs a saviour
Reading: Luke 1:39-49
