A moment with Jesus

Conversation requires talking and listening. As I talk to Jesus may I also learn to be still and listen. I picture the gentleness in his eyes and the smile full of love as he gazes on me. I can be totally honest with Jesus as I tell him of my worries and my cares. I will open up my heart to him as I tell him of my fears and my doubts. I will ask him to help me to place myself fully in his care, to abandon myself to him, knowing that he always wants what is best for me.

Quiet Space

Thank you to everyone who took part in the reflective day this weekend. It was a real treat to spend time doing nothing with you all.
I had had a very busy week and it was great to be able to put all that aside for a while. I hope it was a useful space for other people too.

If there were any particular activities that you found helpful, or anything that was definitely not helpful, please let me know by email and we will give it thought before we do it again.

New year, new service!

Do you have situations and issues that you'd like more people to be praying about. Please use the link in the top right of this page to send prayer requests to us and we will bring them to God in our Saturday morning prayer meetings.

A new Year plan

My talk this morning was looking at what we can do to help bring a little God's kingdom to others we know using some insights from 'The Shack' and Paul in 1Corinthians. As I said I was mainly talking to myself.
Below is the slide show used this morning, my notes can be read here as the slide show doesn't make a huge amount of sense without them!
