Funeral for Evelyn Lorimer

Evelyn who was a resident at Swanton House died suddenly last week. Her funeral will be at the church today at 1.30pm (Tuesday, 15 January) and people are more than welcome to join us. I will be speaking from John 11:17-27, particularly focusing on Jesus' promise and question:

“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

Evelyn Mary Lorimer 11.9.1923 - 10.1.2008

Environmentalism: 24/7 or 24 seconds?

I'm sick of environmentalism taking over what seems to be all our ethical concerns. Sure we need to burn less fossil fuels, have better designed houses for heating and cooling etc, etc. But it seems that these concerns have hijacked the entire of the ethical concerns of our nation. What about poverty, hunger, HIV/AIDS. Instead of letting environmental concerns fill our minds 24/7 they need to shift to 24 seconds a day.

Visit this January

If you are looking to visit a church this January please come along one Sunday morning, it would be great to see you.
