Bishops & Angels

BISHOPS

Bishop Doc Loomis will lead a Confirmation/Reception Service for the Lighthouse Network Sunday, October 30th at 5pm. in Livonia (Madonna Univ. Kresge Hall).   It will be a great time of worship and teaching as we gather together from several congregations in mid-Michigan.   Five members of New Wine will be offically "Received" in the Anglican Mission in America.  As a missionary branch of the Anglican Church of Rwanda, we are all encouraged to see ourselves as missionaries to our family, friends and neighbors.  We have endeavored to keep the mission emphasis before us even in our official name "New Wine Anglican Mission".    Let us never lose our missionary edge!

ANGELS

Last Sunday we heard a precious testimony from one of our members about an "angel".    Though we believe in the reality of heavenly messengers, this story was about a statue of an angel.  Our member shared that she and her late husband had an angel statue that was a special keepsake, but that it had broken since his death.  She ran into the artist Jim Shore recently in Frankenmuth and shared about the statue's current condition.  To her delight this past week she got a special package sent to her home from Mr. Shore.  It was a replacement angel for her broken one called the "watcher of villages and valleys".  Our member saw in this gesture of kindness the Father in heaven reminding her that He cares even about the small things.   God is watching over her in her valley.
