Reflection of the Week - 23rd April 2024
While I claim no expert knowledge when it comes to sheep, I did find myself relating to Jesus in his role as the Good Shepherd in today's gospel (21st April).

This day, this week, I spare a thought for all the volunteers
who freely give time and effort to serve young and old in the community.
I may never get to meet them all, yet I applaud their unselfish, sacrificial service.
I acknowledge that their contribution is without price.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying;
'whom shall I send, and who will go for us?'
And I said, 'here am I. Send me'.
Isaiah 6:8
Saying that I have no time to spare is a poor excuse,
when it is God who calls for a volunteer!
Dear God, whose Son volunteered his life for me,
show me the proper way for me to respond to your call,
'whom shall I send?”

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.
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?
