Message from the Minister

One of the saddest verses in the book of the prophet Jeremiah is the one which declares “The harvest is past, the Summer has ended, and we are not saved” Jeremiah 8 (20)

It’s true to say that summer has indeed ended and the harvest is past. (although here at Carmel we were thrilled to see a truly wonderful congregation at our Harvest celebrations and the marvellous sum of around £600 was collected for the BMS in our Harvest supper).

But what about Jeremiah’s statement “and we are not saved” is that true of us!

The good news is that this is the day of grace and although it may be late in the day, the door of mercy has not been closed. Today is the day of salvation - let us grasp our opportunity today of receiving Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour.
