Reflection of the Week - 9th April 2024
Jesus meets Thomas the way he meets all of us—wherever we are when we decide we are ready.
Posted in Faith
Yesterday, on Tuesday 21 March, we celebrated Harmony Day. Today, we remember Harmony Day. Tomorrow, we choose not to argue in respect of Harmony Day. On Friday, we feel the weight of being normal people, struggling to live at peace with one another as everyday life continues. Saturday, we remember that we don't become peacemakers by our own strength. On Sunday, we are reborn for a new season of peacemaking
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” – Matthew 5:9
Prayer
Lord, give us strength to choose the difficult path of peacemaking, even when it means not getting our own way.
Today, tomorrow and always, I commit my normal, everyday, sometimes frustrating world again to you. I choose you. I choose the path of peace and harmony.

Don’t you wonder sometimes how our covenant Lord who is God – Creator, Master, and Teacher, can and does create from nothing and does not need anything or anyone but is helplessly in love with you?
It’s nearly 5 years since the introduction of the Working With Childrens Check (WWCC) became a minimum requirement for those with roles of responsibility within the life of the church.
