IN THIS . TOPZ ..
Welcome to Topz 2012! And welcome to another year in which we can help you to grow closer to God, understand the Bible better and build your faith. Reading Topz is just one way to help you with this. There are lots of other things you can do to make your relationship with God stronger. Whether it’s by praying, getting involved in a club at your church, going on a Christian holiday or camp, or some other way – talk to someone about helping you make it happen. You could really make this a year to remember if you find ways to get closer to God. Why not write to me at Topz and tell me how you hope to grow in your faith and remember the goodness of God. We’ve discovered some amazing days to remember (and some to forget!) in the Bible – and the Gang will take you through them in the first section of this Topz. We also find out a bit more about the prayer most of you can probably remember – the Lord’s Prayer – and, in our ‘Home At Last’ section, a story from the Bible which shows us clearly that the Lord never forgets. The Gang can also be found having a ‘swimming’ time – and a couple of them are acting rather mysteriously ... Could there be love in the air? Whatever else you remember or forget about this year, my prayer is that you will always remember that God loves you, and may you never forget that He is there for you, no matter what.
‘… remember your Creator while you are still young ...’ Ecclesiastes 12 v 1
