21 January 2025 I didn’t watch it, but I was relieved to see that the US Presidential Inauguration Ceremony took place without incident. It is one of the many follow-on blessings of Christianity that countries in the Western world have devised tried & true systems for...
Happy Wednesday everyone! Have you been watching the tennis over the last few weeks? I’ve caught a few glimpses now & then, mostly while folding laundry or ironing. Some exciting stuff & some interesting stories behind the nets too…more on that in a moment… As always,...
6th January 2025 Happy Epiphany everyone! Christmas ends on the day of Epiphany…the 12th day of Christmas…with the arrival of the magi…the wise travellers, or astrologers from Persia. I always marvel that a handful of mystic stargazers find Jesus an object of worship and devotion, and obey...
Happy New Year Y’all! Or…happy new year’s eve eve…How’s that? It struck me while I was recovering from a magnificent Christmas worship series and equally magnificent Christmas Day lunch…The week after Christmas is a strange time. Our normal schedules are often upended. But then January 1st, or...
You probably didn’t know that…that I love talking to people. Or did you? Well…I do. So…I’m in the checkout line & my cart is overflowing (we have a house-full next week) and the woman in line behind me has one of those little carry-on-your-arm baskets with...

A lot of this is going to look familiar…It is. The movement toward Christmas means we need to keep our eyes focused on the important details & not get distracted by the “silliness” that often accompanies this season… SO.. Zoom Bible Study Catch-up Friday 29th November 2024...
What a great question to start with…let’s do some ‘business’ first & then think about it! Zoom Bible Study Catch-up (Genesis 1:27-2:2, Ecclesiastes 2:24-26, & John 15:5-17) Friday - 22nd November 2024 @ 1:00 p.m. Join Zoom Meeting -- https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83006349720 -- Meeting ID: 830 0634 9720 Advent...
I’m back…again! The annual worship planning retreat with the LifeWay leaders went very well. I’m excited about the worship plan for the year ahead as it points us toward deeper faith & extended discipleship & wider witness here and beyond! There’s much to be thankful for…not...
