Welcome to our Wednesday break reflection
29 July 2020
Jesus said to his disciples just before he was taken back to be with God:
'You will receive power when the holy Spirit has come upon you and yo will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the Earth.
Acts of the Apostles chapter 1 verse 8.
Let us worship God
Hymn: Be still for the presence of the Lord
A poem that prompts us to think about change and journeys.
What if this road that has held no surprises decides to...
by Sheenagh Pugh
In his first book, Luke wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning until the day he was taken up to heaven.
In his second book, the acts of the apostles, he wrote about the spread of the early church to the ends of the Earth
Ruth plays Allemande as for us to sit and think about how the church spreads the word these days.
We bow our heads in prayer
And after we pray, we go and prepare.
In his love God clothes us
enfolds us
and embraces us
that tender love completely surrounds us,
never leaves us.

Hymn: Longing for light

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.
