Rip Van Winkle, of fairy tale fame, seemed to have a great strategy: settle down for a LONG winter's nap and don't wake up until the fuss is all over. But what if there is something important for us that we can only find in the waiting?

Sunday Dec 27, 2020
Sunday Dec 27, 2020
It’s easy to mistakenly assume that peace comes because our external circumstances have changed in a way that removes any cause for agitation and anxiety. But the newborn king that the Magi discovered in Bethlehem brings a different kind of peace.

Disbelief is one of the doorways by which we are invited to enter the Advent story, not as a reader but as many of the characters. Joseph's dilemma not just believable but relatable. Trusting God is only half of the struggle and sometimes not the hardest one.

Sunday Nov 08, 2020
Jesus isn't our bodyguard, faith doesn't offer us protection but instead connection. If your faith is all about protection then fear is your language. But if it is all about connection then it sounds like love.

What if you believed that you could make the world a better place. How would that change the way you see and interact with strangers, your neighbors, your co workers, your family
And what if you weren’t the only one If there were others who shared this conviction - that God’s love for us desires to produce love in us and not just in us....but through us. Imagine all the great things we could do fuelled by the conviction that this is part of why we exist.
Belief is not just about knowing God, but joining God, It’s not just about trusting that God is at work in our world but believing that we can be at work in His, partnering with what he is already up to.
Our motivation to meet is outmatched by our motivation to matter…making a difference in our communities, our world.
A fresh expression of serving, loving, engaging. Part of a growing faith community, that is following Jesus wherever he goes, sharing his message of hope and love and extending his peace in our world.
