Remember that the clocks go back at 2am on Sunday morning
Devote yourselves to prayer, ... Be wise in the way you act towards outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. (Colossians 4:2,5-6, NIV)
As Paul brings his letter to the Colossians to a close, he highlights two areas. First, that we should be devoted to prayer, that we are pray to the God who created us, and who is able to do all things. Second, that we should make the best use of every opportunity to talk about Jesus, the one who saves us. What might that look like for us? How can we take every opportunity to talk about Jesus?

We’ll be finished in time to join the Coffee Shop at 10:30.
I hope that this email is useful, and that you are able to spend a few minutes at noon each day, as we pray together as a church family. Please do keep sending your prayer suggestions to me, so that we can make sure we are praying around the needs, burdens and encouragements of our whole church family.
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. (Colossians 3:1-4, NIV)
What should our lives look like as Christians? Should there be any difference? As Paul writes to the Colossians, and us, he certainly thinks so. As we have died with Christ and live in Christ, so has our behaviour. Christians are to live as God’s chosen people, holy and loved by God. What might that look like for us?
