From Our
Chaplain
My dear friends in Christ,
What will 2012 bring for you and those you love?
For many of us it will mean some savings have to be made.
But what does this mean for your church, in our case for the Chaplaincy
of Saint Francis here on Tenerife?
We too will have to tighten our belts, but more importantly we need to
look at our giving to the Chaplaincy – can we Gift Aid our offering and
thereby help the Chaplaincy get 25% back from the UK Government.
The Archbishop of York said in his New Year message: "I hope you are
excited at the year we have ahead of us, even if it is going to mean
some belt-tightening. The start of a New Year is an opportunity for us
to re-evaluate what is truly important and concentrate on that, not only
in our own lives, but in the country at large…… Our Prime Minister is
absolutely right when he says that "the Bible has helped to give Britain
a set of values and morals which make Britain what it is today. Values
and morals we should actively stand up for and defend. ….. Our country
was built on Christian faith and morals, and we should not only be
grateful for this, but also celebrate this fact. …..If we have to
tighten our belts this year, let it be an opportunity to concern
ourselves for the well-being and human flourishing of all. We shall need
strength and courage to reorder priorities. It is my prayer that each
one of us may know God walking with us every step of the way."
It is my prayer for all of you who support the Chaplaincy in so many
different ways, that 2012 may be a Holy and Blessed year, which sees
yourselves and us prospering, not just in finance, but in the faith and
love of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Your Chaplain and friend,
Fr. Keith
