Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my Beloved, my Chosen; listen to him!” —Luke 9.35Set aside what you believe. Listen to him.What is he saying to you,in this moment?Let go of what you think:what do you hear?Become a calm meadowand wait for the breeze of Godto whisper.Wait for a small birdto settle and sing.Reading the texts,saying your prayers,silence your thoughts.Shut out the preacher,listen for a fainter voice,from so deep within it's from beyond,purer than words,the voice that wants you,loves you,creates you.The voice may surprise you,contradict or confuse,but it will shine with lightfrom beyond all death.Listen for the voicethat calls you from your tombinto the light.The breeze stirs,the small trees bend.Deep Blessings,Pastor Steve

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to 'Honour thy father and thy mother,' she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?' Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, 'Thou shall not kill..'

Memories on Turning 70
By Chuck Page
Aye, ‘tis true
Seventy years have come and gone
And I’ve seen their skies from dusk and dawn
Ah yes, I remember them well
God’s there, you know
In the darkest night
The misty morn
And the eagle’s flight.
Prayers being answered
Thoughts being heard
God’s here, you know
Just a heartbeat away
Only a breath beyond
A mere thought apart.

And please switch on your Bluetooth to download the sermon."

Those who prefer to use iPads can open them.
Those who prefer telephone banking, take out your cellphones to transfer your contributions to the church account.
The holy atmosphere of the Church becomes truly electrified as ALL the smart phones, iPads, PCs and laptops beep and flicker!
