Good day MU Members, please see the most recent letter from the IMPC: Dear Friends, this issue of the IMPC Newsletter challenges you to become healthy both physically and spiritually. THE WOMAN AT THE WELL WITH REV MARY GRAHAM: Most of us know where we were when we realized that we needed Jesus in our lives. I can recall vividly where I was and at what stage of my life, when Jesus came calling.
It was in 2014 and I was attending St. George’s Anglican Church for the very first time. I had been living in the Cayman Islands for a long time. I was raised an Anglican; went to an Anglican school and was confirmed yet I had never visited the only Anglican Church in the Cayman Islands. I visited because my friend who kept telling me for years about Sis. Mary invited me to that church for her baby’s Baptism. My life changed on that Sunday morning as Rev. Mary spoke about the Woman at the Well. Her sermon stirred emotions in me that I thought had long died. I was emotional. I was overwrought. I realized then and there what true love was all about. I never stopped attending.
I got to know Rev Mary through my time at St. Georges. Looking at me with love, I shared my life journey with her and she shared hers. Her sermons were always filled with one message. Love. Being loved. Showing love. Accepting love. Being worthy of love. She reminded us each day with anecdotes, scripture and her sermons that we should always see Jesus in each other. It is a simple message, but once you begin to put that into action, you realise just how challenging it can be to see Jesus in everyone. It has been 9 years and since that time, Rev Mary has not changed. Her message to all of us has been one of love, of showing compassion. Of being Christians not only in thought, but also in our deeds and our daily walk.
