Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

MISSION SUNDAY - MISSIONARIES
SCOTLAND – Graham & Beth McDonald
I have been serving as a
preacher in Scotland since
1991, and in
Cumbernauld since 1994.
In that time, Beth and I
married in 1995, and now
we have 4 children.
With the arrival of 2023 comes the hope of better things this year. Covid has curtailed
much of our regular work and we have found ways (e.g. Zoom) to still do our very best in
reaching others.
Beth and I came back to the United States to give reports to our supporting Churches for
3 weeks, November 30, 2022 through December 22, 2022 when we flew back to Scotland.
Every year, we have a gospel meeting in the spring with the sermons delivered by young
men from churches of Christ across Scotland.
In November, we were able to have our Crianlarich congregational retreat in the
Highlands. This is an annual fixture but Covid disrupted this as well as everything else we
normally do. However, we were able to be back together and enjoy some much needed
fellowship and devotion.
Our Tuesday youth club and Bible classes was forced to shut down in March 2020 when
the first lockdown was announced. Our space limitations at the meeting places we have
used over the years have meant that we have always hired a local school to conduct most
of our weekly youth ministries. As of the first of February, we were able to be up and
running again!
We are doing Bible studies each week and several have obeyed the Gospel from these
studies.
Thank you again for your love and support.
We love you. Keep the faith.
In Christ's love,
Graham & Beth
