Suzanne introduced us to Floriography and the Victorian meanings of flowers.
Reading Matt 6:28 "Why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the fields grow. In view of impending Mothering Sunday, originally to remember 'Mother Church' Suzanne spoke of Mary and Martha. Reading Luke 10:38-42 Martha asks Jesus "Dont you care?" (that she had been left to do all the work). A question sometimes posed to us is "Are you a Mary or a Martha?" referring to Mary sitting at Jesus feet whilst Martha is is looking after the home and being the perfect host meeting everyone's needs. Do we show faith through our actions but is it at the cost of sitting at the feet of our Lord? We must breathe, listen and only then DO!

Kinder addressed a dozen members from the church on how he became a Christian in a Sikh family and outlined his current work and mission in Attercliffe.
Women's World Day of Prayer from women in Palestine.
Readings Genesis 17 & Mark 1:v21 Keith spoke of demons and how often we may be influenced by negative voices in our head "you cant do that!" With the ongoing war in Israel and Gaza Keith reminded us of Abram and his family in Canaan and Egypt with Sarah ending up in the Royal harem. Jesus sometimes order demons or onlookers not to talk about his actions in dealing with demons. Often we do not know how the demonised person felt following the expulsion of their demons. What are out demons? We need help to rid ourselves or others of demons |
