Read More When We Gather … Opening ThoughtsWhat’s the point? Discouragement. They don’t turn up like they used to. The numbers are dwindling. The effort was dismal. The performance was dreadful.

Read More Something About Start Again And Keep GoingThere was no question with God as there was for the agonising Hamlet. There was the call to be. As the culmination of His creation reflecting Him in all He was. His first call to humanity was to be fruitful. Being fruitful in a very real way was continuing to be who He created humanity […]
