Wednesday break reflection   3 June 2020

​A thought to start our reflection this morning.

The Pentecostal people gathered in Jerusalem are completely stunned and upset.
What does this mean they say to each other.

Jesus, the Messiah died and rose again. Not like a loner, but like the first fruits and he sent his disciples to all points of the compass on Earth where the fields were ripe for harvesting.

O the fragrant promise, all the sheaves will be gathered and we will eat bread at the great harvest fetival for which th world waits.

Pentecost fulfilled.

​Let us worship God

Join Alan in prayer

A few verses from the book of Acts

When the day of Pentecost had come, suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind.and it filled the whole house.
And how is it that we hear each of us in our own native language?
Peter standing with the eleven addressed them. Listen to what I say.
Alan reflects on Pentecost fulfilled and the vision of for the church..

Ruth plays for as as we pause and imagine...
ur words as church in action.
What do you see?
​How do you feel?

We bow our heads for a moment in prayer

​And after we pray, we go and prepare.

Who is the trinity?

You are music
You are life

Source of everything
creator of everything
angelic hosts sing your praise.

Wonderfully radiant,
deep,
mysterious.

You are alive in everything,
and yet you are unknown to us.

​Hildegard of Bingen

​May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you,
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.
