The thankful miracle within us.

If we want to learn to “thank” aright we must “think” about the miracle that is happening to us. For thinking and thanking belong together. Both are worship and they cannot be separated. Both are an exercise which we must perform every day.

Small Group Leader reading the book How to Lead Small Groups

Neil McBride wrote How to Lead Small Groups in the early 1990's. A small number of us have been working through this book and considering leading small group Bible Study groups. We've read and considered two chapters of this book. In the new year we will continue with our reading and study. All to support the ministry and spiritual needs of the Parish.

Steve Jobs: a man of vision

Bake-Apple Prayer Work

Prayer is often done on ones' knees, or sitting to a table, but sometimes it is done in ordinary places and in ordinary ways.

Stooping and picking I prayed.

Chimes & Church Music: Pre-Service and MP3 players
