The Widow of Nain:
Most priests will have had the sad task of burying a
young child in their ministry. The Church will be
full, whatever you say frankly has really little
meaning – the feeling of pain and loss is
everywhere. Grieving will go on for years – the life
of the family will never be that same. |

Building Faith on Good
Foundations:
The story of the
wise man who built the house on the rock and the
foolish man who built on the sand. There’s a
wonderful children’s action song that we sing at
Stepping Stones occasionally. It’s all about today’s
Gospel reading. |

Whitsunday:
In your life there have probably been many occasions
when you have had mixed emotions. Happiness and
sadness, fear and joy, can often going together at
special events in life and no doubt there are
special occasions that stick out as changing your
life for ever. |

Sunday After Ascension:
Being a Christian can be costly. I don’t mean only
in monetary terms but also in our whole lives. I am
sure that the role of the Church is to be the
conscious of the nation and it is good at times for
our Church leaders to question those in authority. |

Growing in God's Love:
This weekend has been a time for a family gathering as my
two sons have come home for the weekend. One has just
started a new job and has enjoyed the weekend away from the
cut and thrust of commercial life. His brother, who likewise
is very busy, was very pleased to see him. |

Good Shepherding Sunday:
One of the primary tasks of the clergy is to prepare
and baptise children and children can range from a
few weeks old to well into their teens or older. The
children coming forward are a gift from God. We act
a little bit like a shepherd as Jesus told us to do,
and we try to look after our sheep and our lambs
which God has given to us. |

Peace Be With You:
The week after Easter is usually a quiet time for
the clergy as they have a break after the Easter
services. This year has been slightly different as I
have had a number of pastoral calls to local
hospitals to see parishioners and another one to
Cranmer House – all the parishioners were seriously
ill and glad to see me. |

Easter Sunday:
We believe that during the recent earth earthquake
to hit the UK, reading 4.8 on the Richter scale,
that the Reredos of this Church was cracked – it may
not have been a major earthquake which announced the
arrival of the angel to roll away the stone of the
tomb but it certainly shook this Church...

Palm Sunday:
Often in life it is only after an event that you
realise the enormity of what has actually taken
place. My wife and I were travelling to Austria on
honeymoon...

The Wonders of God's Riches:
Today we heard the
story of the boy and his packed lunch. We may well
ask ourselves the question – what was the point of
him offering that when there were so many thousands
of people to feed? ...
