Well Spring has well and truly sprung with all the lovely flowers and blossom on the trees. Apologies for any for whom this brings on hay fever and sneezes. We have also had the variable weather of April, which hopefully will improve and be warmer too. Our meeting on the 6th of April to discuss […]
Read on...by Phil Andrews I was fearing the worst when our much-heralded Brainstorming Meeting on April 6th was about to commence. It had been called to discuss the future and indeed the very survival of our Church, and yet it appeared only five people had felt motivated to attend. And yet, probably no more than fifteen […]
Read on...by Rev. Antony W. Ball My family very rarely went to Church. We were brought up to respect the Church in some kind of vague, all-embracing way, but we were not a Church-going family. In particular, the great festivals of Christianity ‘left me cold’, as it were. I knew Christmas was about Jesus being born […]
Read on...by Doug Kashorek, Plattsburgh, NY “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16. There’s a lot of talk about giving this month. Even the retail stores, who have separated themselves from the “reason for the […]
Read on...Our experimental move to Sundays for Church Meetings has not proved an overwhelming success but the third of the three, held in March, was at least quorate.

Ball We don’t usually make a fuss about ‘saints’ days’ in our ‘free’ Churches – the Anglican Church I attend for Morning Prayer most weekday mornings has no such inhibitions – but maybe George, the patron saint of England1 (whose day is April 23rd), does deserve some mention. St George was […]
Read on...by Jay Launius (Maud Church of Christ – Maud, Texas) Have you ever considered the state of our faith and religion if Christ had not risen from the grave? Suppose it is just like the chief priest and Pharisees had said and the disciples came and stole the body of Jesus and the whole resurrection […]
Read on...by Jay Launius (Maud Church of Christ – Maud, Texas) It was the first day of the week and three days had passed since the execution of Jesus on the cross at Golgotha. Before daybreak, Mary Magdalene and the other women went to the tomb to anoint His body. But as they arrived at the […]
Read on...We are almost halfway through Lent, with Easter on the last weekend of March; which is also when the clocks go forward! During Lent you may have promised yourself to read a special book or attend other churches’ activities. Or maybe come to both services here, there is still time! It would be lovely to […]
Read on...by Phil Andrews In meeting after meeting we deliberate over how we can reverse the natural decline in the size of our congregations, and of our membership. I say “natural”, because people leave us for all sorts of reasons – moving home, immobility and (sadly but inevitably) even death. And the simple fact is that […]
