Sermon by Elder David Lepcha

Topic: How to celebrate this Christmas?

Text: Luke 2: 1 – 20

Luke 2:8-9, ‘’Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.’’

The angel of the Lord appeared before shepherds in the dark. They were afraid. Whenever people face darkness they fear; anything can happen in the darkness especially the wrong things. In the same way the shepherds were in fear, might be waiting to face attacks or some kind of unusual things. Meanwhile angel of the Lord appeared before them not with the fear but with the Good News. Albeit they first got scared they realized their fear would be taken away by the Almighty God to whom they ought to meet the very night.

There might be people who are still facing darkness in their lives, living in fear and confusion. Thus let’s celebrate this Christmas sharing the Good News of Christ as the angel of the Lord did with the shepherds in the darkness. Let’s continually proclaim the message of hope, peace and joy.

Let this Christmas be the season to share the Good News that the Christ has borne not to give us the spirit of fear but the spirit of joy and peace.

Amen and Amen!!

MINISTRY AT STUTI PRASHANSA CHURCH

Pastors Brian Winslade, Michael Forlong and Fred Creighton (New Zealand) were speakers at the SPC (Stuti Prashansa Church) Revival Convention, 2016 which was attended by some 600 participants.  In addition there were about 100 children and a visiting YWAM team from New Zealand ran the children’s programme. (The YWAM Team is currently in Nepal as part of their DTS training).

A youthful choir led the exuberant worship.                       Both young and old participated!

 Several different interpreters assisted Brian, Michael and Fred with “on the spot” interpretation both in preaching and listening to expressed needs and requests for prayer...

Left:  The large crowd was well fed at meal times! 

Right: Sacred dancing was enjoyed by all! 

What a time of rejoicing, praise and worship, undergirded of course with the preaching of the Word.

Attended Pastors from different churches

THE PASTORAL TRAINING SEMINAR followed the Revival Convention with 24 new Pastoral Trainees. This was highly successful and we expect to see the same procedure next year.

The Trainees who attended last year were given special sessions with Pastor Brian where they received further teaching and opportunity to ask questions.  They also received their “Certificate of Completion” plus a Memory Stick with further training materials and the remainder of the T&M Pastoral Training Booklets to make up their full sets of 63 booklets.

Next year we expect to train a further 25 new Pastoral Trainees and this will bring to completion our 3 year Partnership with the Stuti Prashansa Church to see established a basic Church based Pastoral Training Course.
