Welcome to our Wednesday break reflection 
2 September 2020

Click here for today's service on you tube 

Scripture speaks of 'things beyond our seeing, prepared by God for those who love him'; and these are what God has revealed through the Spirit.
Paul says in his first letter to the church at Corinth 2:9-10.

​Let us worship God

Jennifer and Isabel Sing and play for us

We know much of Paul's idea of Chritsian faith through his letters.
Today we look at the start of Paul's letter to the Romans
Alan reads Romans 1:1-15

Text of Romans 1:1-15

Alan reflects on communication by Paul.
Paul's letters followed the style of his contemporaries.

A very short poem and some music to help us reflect on faith.

Text of the poem 

We bow our heads in prayer

Let's join together and say the Lord's prayer

​And after we pray, a hymn to close with

The Lord's my shepherd (Brother James Air)

Listen as Paul blesses us through his words at the end of his letter to the Romans (16:25-27)

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.
