Today, 25 July, the Church remembers James the Apostle, one of the first disciples called by Jesus and one of the sons of Zebedee.
In the Gospel, Jesus teaches his disciples that greatness in the kingdom of God is not found in status, power or honour, but in service. James and the other disciples are invited to learn a different way of life, shaped by humility and self giving love. To follow Christ is not to seek the highest place, but to walk the way of service.
As we remember James, we give thanks for all who follow Christ with courage, faithfulness and a willingness to serve.
Scripture reading: Matthew 20:25–28
‘Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them.
It will not be so among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave;
just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.”’
Prayer
Servant Lord,
you call us to follow you in humility and love.
Teach us to seek not status or power,
but the way of faithful service.
Give us the courage of James,
to walk with Christ wherever he leads,
and to offer our lives in witness to your kingdom.
Amen.

A fantastic confirmation service was held at St Andrew's Kildwick on Sunday afternoon. There were 18 candidates from local churches (Kildwick, Steeton, Silsden & Oakworth), with Bishop Toby presiding. Chris from St Stephen's was amongst those confirmed. Pictured next to Bishop Toby, looking smart in his suit.. Well done, Chris and welcome to the family. Also pictured is Revd. Michael Cowgill as his sponsor.
