Dear Parents and Carers,
In this Sunday’s Gospel, the people who were most
familiar with Jesus welcomed him at first. They readily
acknowledged his wisdom and his miracles. But they
were not prepared to put their faith in him, to go
further and see that God was at work in him and so,
in the end, they rejected Jesus.
Although it’s good to admire Jesus, it’s putting our faith
in him which helps us to realize that he is the Son of God
– the incredible presence of God on earth among us.

If we recognise this and welcome Jesus into our lives,
then he has a chance to work among us, to strengthen
us and to guide us to do good in the world.
Enjoy a special time together this evening, listening to
your child’s thoughts about this Sunday’s Gospel and
this Wednesday’s word, which is WELCOME.

THE GOSPEL IN CHURCH
Sunday 7th July 2024
Jesus went to his home town and
his disciples accompanied him. With
the coming of the sabbath he began
teaching in the synagogue and most
of them were astonished when they
heard him. They said, “Where did
the man get all this? What is this wisdom that
has been granted him, and these miracles that
are worked through him? This is the carpenter,
surely, the son of Mary, the brother of James
and Joset and Jude and Simon? His sisters, too,
are they not here with us?” And they would not
accept him. And Jesus said to them, “A prophet
is only despised in his own country among his
own relations and in his own house.” And he
could work no miracle there, though he cured a
few sick people by laying his hands on them. He
was amazed at their lack of faith.

When we welcome Jesus as the Son of God, we discover the happiness
