Welcome to our Wednesday break reflection 
12 August 2020

There is a no frills video of the complete Wednesday Break
​ at the end of this page and on our
You tube channel 

The well know hymn, Blessed Assurance, reminds us:
​this is my story, this is my song
praising my saviour all the day long.
It seems to sum up the story that runs through Paul's letters and offers us encouragement each and every day

Text version of Alan's call to worship

Luke records Paul's journeys as he spreads the good news of Jesus. Today he is in Thessalonica. Alan reads Acts 17:1-4

Text of Acts 17:1-4

Paul wrote so much of our New Testament. We meet him in Acts, yet discover more about him though his letters.

Alan offers some simple reflections on Paul message of hope for our moments of anxiety and joy.

Pause in the presence of God as Ruth play you a prelude

We bow our heads in prayer

Click here for text of Alan's prayer

​And after we pray, we go and prepare.

Paul said:
But may our Lord himself, Jesus Christ and God our Father,
the One who loved us and gave unfailing encouragement and good hope in  grace,
encourage your hearts and strengthen you
in all works and good words.

​2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

Hymn: Eternal Father strong to save. 

Amen

Our church building in Spring

At the end of last year, Leonard said to me one Sunday that I should look forward to a surprise outside the church in late spring. Is this the surprise? Since we can't go into the building I thought you might like to see some pictures.
What thoughts of church and friends come to mind as you look at them?
Thank you Leonard and helpers.

​Bible reading plan
 oHere's a simple bible reading plan for the next few weeks taken from Janie Stuart's favourite Bible commentator-Dale Bruner. He calls it making a home with Jesus. (John 15). His suggestion is that we read a a book a month, reading a chapter a day and think about what we have read and what is happening in our lives. Since some books are have fewer chapters than days in the month, then you either get to have a few days holiday or spend time chewing over passages that caught your attention in that particular book.
His scheme for the next few months would be:
March: Luke 1-24
April: John 1-21
May: Acts 1-28
June: Romans: 1-16
We are part way through the gospel of Luke in the church so I would suggest the following:
March 22 to April 12 Luke 10 -24
April 13 to May 3: John 1-21
May: Acts 1-28 which would gets us back onto Dale's plan but let us read and reflect on the Easter story at Easter.
