Those in need are not always unknown

Paul Smith — Sun, 13 May 2012 20:22:03 +0000

During Jesus’ three year ministry He performed many miracles. One of the most well-known is the feeding of the five thousand. This is of course where Jesus took five loaves of bread and two fish, and fed all who were there. What is often forgotten however is that after all had eaten, and all were [...]

The stones will cry out

Trisha — Tue, 08 May 2012 20:41:48 +0000

Hello again dear reader It is a mistake to believe that as God is the potter He can do with us (the clay) as He wishes, regardless of our own will. When God told Jeremiah to visit the potter’s workplace, he saw the clump of clay would not yield in his hands to become a [...]

You don’t have to be alone to feel lonely

Trisha — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 20:48:26 +0000

“When He has tested me I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23 v 10 When I look through my box of stones, I am sad at how quickly I have forgotten the circumstances in which they came to me. How thankful I am too though that I wrote down on small cards a reminder [...]

The stones will cry out: Timing

Trisha — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 09:00:34 +0000

“Can I not do with you as the potter? As the clay is in his hand, so are you in my hand.” Jeremiah 18:6 As I’ve got older, I have found myself thinking – the more I know, the less I know. As a young follower of Jesus, I felt I could convert the world; [...]

A bit messy

Tracy — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 20:19:36 +0000

Last week we held a different kind of All-Age service. We took a page out of the series of books and dvds on Messy Church, and turned their focus on outreach to ‘in-reach’ our own people. I want to get round to more people and ask how it was for them, but I’ve heard back [...]

God Bless All, on Mother’s Day

Tracy — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 07:17:30 +0000

Happy Mother’s Day I reckon Mother’s Day ought to be about loving and nurturing in the ways we usually see as more ‘feminine’, not just about those who have a womb and have used it. We use this little prayer every night at our house with the girls. I think it’s lovely for all the [...]

Housekeeping

Tracy — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 16:07:33 +0000

Hi all, in my own family I distinguish between housekeeping and homemaking – sometimes they don’t seem to necessarily go together, but you really do need both! Just a bit of church ‘housekeeping’ here then - ACM this Wednesday The church’s ACM is Wednesday night at 7.30. (An ACM is Annual Church Meeting. Obvious once [...]

The stones will cry out: Lay down your rebelling will

Tracy — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 09:00:31 +0000

Trisha Harvey shares with us fortnightly about the stones she’s collected in her Christian journey. Welcome dear reader We sometimes feel that God has forgotten us, or isn’t listening. We want our circumstances to change because they are difficult to cope with. Our early days are full of wonder and miracles. Yet the going certainly [...]

This Sunday

Tracy — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 21:23:43 +0000

If you’re at church with us this Sunday, hurrah! But you will find things a bit different from how they normally are. I will explain: I’ve done a lot of yakking about it, but I’m excited and I’m happy to go over it again. And I want to make sure everyone understands why we’re doing [...]

Cross on the water

chris flaxman — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 12:55:02 +0000

Nearly two years ago Ann and I were hard pressed, worn out and really in need of a break. We arranged to go to our favourite place in South Wales called Rhossili as Ann’s sister was coming to look after mother for a long weekend so we could leave on Good Friday and return on [...]
