It is also the summit of the mountain we are climbing as we see the grand vista that hope in Christ gives.

It’s easy, when we are involved in a conflict, to concentrate solely on winning the struggle.  But “then what?”  What will happen afterwards? 

We are celebrating Christ’s resurrection, the event that remade us as Easter people, a rebirth-the spring-of our own lives of faith.

Having walked the road of Lent and Holy week, of foot washing, agape meals, silence and Good Friday we are now almost at that time.

I want to tell you about something I find achingly beautiful - something that blows my mind and heals my soul. Did you know that 'Jesus'...

In John’s Gospel this week some of those closest to Jesus are beginning to understand where the road to Jerusalem is leading

This week we have a mini pause from Lent and celebrate "Mothering Sunday". A  mix of traditions and emotions

But there is another much deeper and richer meaning to what it means to be “holy”. It is to have something of God about you.

Dear All Saints and St Marys If you only heard one word from the mouth of Jesus, what might that be?  ‘Love’.  ‘God’.  No, I suggest that...

Happy Gaudete! What a great word to say and reflect on. It is a word that has been set to many a tune-a gift of an earworm for your weekend!

However, it is a reminder to me that peace is hard won, however uncomfortable that may be.

As we begin Advent, we are asked to begin again. To start afresh with God. To come with all hopes, dreams, worries & fears & lay them out.

The Beatitudes recognises and values the poor, grieving, downtrodden, the lowest in society

God would help us ‘hear, read, mark, learn and inwardly digest - ’So how where do we start so our Bible studies don’t give us indigestion?

it can be anything that we put in the place of God that can become our stumbling block, not just money.
