Thought For The Week, 12 August 2018

At the moment my household is gripped by World-Cup fever. Every four years, teams and supporters from around the world gather for the drama, the spectacle, the excitement of the world’s largest event. I think there might be some football played too!

Thought For The Week 17 June 2018
Last week at our mission planning meeting before Parish Council we read together from Mark chapter 1: After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near.
