So yes, I did plant flowers this afternoon. One pot with red cottage daisies and purple alysum alternating around the edge, with a cheery yellow pansy in the centre. Two pots of purple pansies with petals so dark they’re almost black, mixed with jonquil bulbs. Three pots full of freesia bulbs that will smell dreamy […]

It’s been almost a year since the start of the Afternoon Church Adventure. Hard to believe! It’s been an interesting journey. At the review meeting after tonight’s service, people described us as “a community” and “family”. They’re right. We’re a small congregation in comparison to the other services, but that’s actually something a lot of […]

So much so, that apparently He even rode them. See picture below:
It’s kinda kitchy cute, don’t you think? (Although it does makes me wonder why you would choose to enter Jerusalem on a donkey if there were brontosauruses (brontosauri?) running around, but I digress …) A friend sent me the pic. Apparently it was […]

This year I’ve been helping out at kids’ church - the K-2 group. It’s been good. Being silly has been fun - singing, dancing, playing games, colouring in. But it’s also been a tonic. Listening to Bible stories, learning memory verses, hearing the kids’ questions, pondering object lessons. The theme this year has been ‘God’s […]
