Posted on Thursday, 18th January, 2018 by Shan
How blessed we are to have been given such a wonderful farewell! Thank you for the beautiful farewell gift, already hung in our living room, for the cards and messages and the very kind words spoken to Maurie and to me as we concluded our time at St Paul’s. We were deeply moved Read...

Second Sunday after Epiphany – 14th January 2018
Posted on Sunday, 14th January, 2018 by Shan
At our Parish Council Meeting on Tuesday evening the subject of Evangelism was raised. Now, according to the Etymology Dictionary, “Evangelism is the practice of trying to persuade people to become Christians or revive their commitments to Christianity. The word stems from the 12th century, with the term “evangelists” used Read...

The Baptism of Our Lord – 7th January 2018
Posted on Saturday, 6th January, 2018 by Shan
I found this gem on Elizabeth Dolan’s face book post – It reminded me that words are simply symbols and sometimes they seem ridiculous if we don’t understand the background. Sometimes words are used as codes as Liz found out this week. Think about some of the nursery rhymes you grew up with Read...

Fourth Sunday of Advent – 24th December 2017
Posted on Saturday, 23rd December, 2017 by Shan
A candy maker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would be a witness, so he made the Christmas Candy Cane. He incorporated several symbols for the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ. He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy: white to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the Read...

Third Sunday of Advent – 17th December 2017
Posted on Sunday, 17th December, 2017 by Shan
As a child I remember that the most difficult part of Christmas was simply waiting for it to come. I really enjoyed the last few weeks of school, after exams had been completed and reports given out it was time for some serious fun at school, with concerts and parties and speech Read...

Second Sunday of Advent – 10th December 2017
Posted on Saturday, 9th December, 2017 by Shan
In the gospel reading for today we are reminded of a surprising (to the world) choice, by God, to deliver the call to repentance and preparation for the coming of the Messiah. His name was John. People knew him locally as the Baptist. Some would say of him that he was a religious Read...

First Sunday of Advent – 3rd December 2017
Posted on Saturday, 2nd December, 2017 by Shan
This week I share with you a story from a sermon written by Pastor Brett Blair – “It is hard for us to understand Jesus’ delay in his coming. God’s time clock is certainly out of sync with ours as Little Jimmy learned one day as he was laying on a hill Read...

Christ the King – 26th November 2017
Posted on Saturday, 25th November, 2017 by Shan
I arrived at the hairdressers a bit early for an appointment just recently and had time for  a coffee and a read of some magazines and I came across an article, the likes of which appear every so often, speculating on a successor for queen Elizabeth 11. Should it be Charles, by right Read...

Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost – 19th November 2017
Posted on Sunday, 19th November, 2017 by Shan
It is Thursday morning and the news headlines are focused on two particular events of interest to Australians. Last night, in Sydney, the Socceroos’ earned the right to compete in the world cup after a win of 3/1 against Honduras. Now I do not profess to being a soccer fan but I acknowledge Read...
