He was caught just as he came in the church! Most of us like to look over a reading first and find the meaning of the passage.

Far more than a countdown to Christmas, Advent is a sacred season of waiting http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/696497/Network_Yarmouth/News/Viewpoint_column/Viewpoint_from_Rev.aspx http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/696497/Network_Yarmouth/News/Viewpoint_column/Viewpoint_from_Rev.aspx Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:00:00 GMT One of the things my faith teaches me is to look at the place I live in with “eyes of abundance”. What do I mean by that? Well, the tendency nowadays is to look at the world with “eyes of scarcity”.

But sometimes we get an idea. It seems to be out of the blue, we don’t know why but we have a strong desire to do something different http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/699894/Network_Yarmouth/News/Sponsored_Bike_Ride.aspx http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/699894/Network_Yarmouth/News/Sponsored_Bike_Ride.aspx Tue, 29 Oct 2024 01:00:00 GMT Thank you to all who sponsored the participants in the Bike Ride and Walk event and to those who cycled, Revd Liz, Philip Last, Don McAlister, Paul Smith and Darryl Rockett.

When I leave my home I can be fairly certain that it will be there as a welcoming place when I return.

What strange things happen there and what do they actually do? The core activity of the Church is to offer worship to God. I suppose what I am trying to get at is that we need an inner peace, in order to grow as human http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/692226/Network_Yarmouth/News/Viewpoint_column/Viewpoint_from_Rev.aspx http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/692226/Network_Yarmouth/News/Viewpoint_column/Viewpoint_from_Rev.aspx Fri, 13 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMT Time flies, or so they say – it certainly feels that way as I get older!

Or I should have done so much better. “Could if” relates to my excuses while “would if” introduces outside influences and the should has no if – it’s the potential to be realised http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/690133/Network_Yarmouth/News/Viewpoint_column/Viewpoint_from_Rev.aspx http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/690133/Network_Yarmouth/News/Viewpoint_column/Viewpoint_from_Rev.aspx Fri, 30 Aug 2024 00:00:00 GMT What would St George think?

Hangry (hungry and angry) is the word coined by mums to describe toddlers who become grumpy when it is too long since their last meal http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/690131/Network_Yarmouth/News/Viewpoint_column/Viewpoint_from_Pastor.aspx http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/690131/Network_Yarmouth/News/Viewpoint_column/Viewpoint_from_Pastor.aspx Fri, 16 Aug 2024 00:00:00 GMT Waiting is something that most of us find difficult – waiting at the supermarket checkout, waiting in a traffic jam, or waiting for something that we are longing for can all cause us to become frustrated http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/694539/Network_Yarmouth/News/People/Tribute_to_lifelong.aspx http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/694539/Network_Yarmouth/News/People/Tribute_to_lifelong.aspx Tue, 13 Aug 2024 04:00:00 GMT The death is announced of Patricia Gillett husband of Peter.

The custom seems to come partly from the gifts the wise men brought to Jesus, but also from the sense in which Christians believe that Jesus is God’s own Son, a gift to the world http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/624033/Network_Yarmouth/News/Viewpoint_column/Viewpoint_from_Rev.aspx http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/624033/Network_Yarmouth/News/Viewpoint_column/Viewpoint_from_Rev.aspx Fri, 17 Dec 2021 01:00:00 GMT Christmas is coming, and whether we like it or not it will soon be here!

Actually, it wasn’t much of clear-out to be honest. There are still leads which power electrical items that I don’t have because I feel that I might need them one day http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/609998/Network_Yarmouth/News/Viewpoint_column/Viewpoint_from_Rev.aspx http://www.networkyarmouth.co.uk/Articles/609998/Network_Yarmouth/News/Viewpoint_column/Viewpoint_from_Rev.aspx Fri, 21 May 2021 00:00:00 GMT Spiritual Direction is an area of ministry that I am greatly inspired by.
