By Terry Milne
Day by day we hear the news on the TV, radio or newspapers. We can also hear news from friends and family through telephone, text, Facebook etc (other forms of social media are available).
How do we categorise that news that we hear? Is it bad news – often what we hear in the press, they tend to go for the sensational – a disaster there, another killing over there, the economy is in serious difficulty – oh and we are going to have to put up taxes (and blame the previous government). Sometimes of course it is good news – in the press we hear of people who have gone out of the way to help others. We can hear both good and bad news from friends and family – a new baby on the way, a success with a job application or someone having a medical condition, someone being made redundant. Lots of examples. Some news we might just put into the ‘well I heard that but not really interested in it’.
In the Gospel for this Sunday we hear about Jesus telling his close disciples just what it means to follow Him. And it was probably put in the ‘bad news’ category as far as they were concerned. Following Jesus is not an easy path but we should not put it in the ‘not interested’ category of news – if we fully embrace following Jesus then it can open up much more fulfilment in our lives, both now and into eternity.
It is really GOOD NEWS.

What is a Healing Ministry?
Matthew’s gospel gives us a summary of Jesus’ ministry which is ‘preaching the Good News of the Kingdom and healing every sickness and disease among the people.’ The church, throughout its history, has been entrusted with a mandate for bringing this healing to people and communities. Here in Pastrow we have for some time been training a group of people to exercise this Healing Ministry.
