God's abundance

This is the theme planned for Sunday.  We are going to explore the prophet Isaiah's "Why hunger for what will really not satisfy?  Let the one without money come, buy and eat!"

How we really are

Here is the banner we made at the beginning of the month - each smudge or blob is someone's acknowledgement of how this text from St Paul applies to his or her own life.

Human being in a pickle

We don't always do what we tell ourselves we will do.  We are often very inconsistent in what we criticise.  Two of the Bible readings set for Sunday make these two points.  So our First Sunday Thing this month (on 6th July) will encourage us to confess what we do wrong (which is a regular part of almost all our other services in church) and anoint each other with a tiny bit of oil (which is a much more rare way of declare healing and forgiveness).  We will make an unexpected discovery beneath a gravestone and find out whether it is harder to frown at a joyful ditty or smile at a dirge.
