Today we turn to our own story. Like the story of the Shunammite couple, ours is also a story about the gift of a son - God’s own Son - into a world burdened by sin and its consequences. We also express our appreciation for the Lord’s kindness, like the Shunammite couple did, in very practical ways like the building of the ‘ministry centre’ we dedicate today. Admittedly, ours is a bit more elaborate than a lean-to on the edge of a flat roof, but it carries the same significance. [Pentecost 14]
