SUNDAY SCHOOL

Beth, Imogen and Toby hold up their name cards made today in Sunday School.
Using the Bible story of Abraham and Sarah,
they explained to Bishop David, who was visiting us today,
that God knows each of us by name 

FLOWER FESTIVAL PREVIEW 2014

JUST A SMALL SELECTION OF THE DISPLAYS

COME ALONG THIS WEEKEND TO SEE THESE AND MANY MORE

GOD'S GENEROSITY

God's Generosity

God is a god of abundance, not a god of scarcity.  Jesus reveals to us God's abundance when he offers so much bread to the people that there are twelve large baskets with leftover scraps (see John 6:5-15), and when he makes his disciples catch so many fish that their boat nearly sinks (Luke 5:1-7).  God doesn't give us just enough.  God gives us more than enough:  more bread and fish than we can eat, more love than we dared to ask for.

God is a generous giver, but we can only see and enjoy God's generosity when we love God with all of our hearts, minds, and strength.  As long as we say, "I will love you, God, but first show me your generosity," we will remain distant from God and unable to experience what God truly wants to give us, which is life and life in abundance.

ALLELUIA. CHRIST IS RISEN.

Matthew 28

The Resurrection of Jesus

After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, “He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.” This is my message for you.’ So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them and said, ‘Greetings!’ And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshipped him. Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.’

HE IS RISEN INDEED. ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!
