This past Sunday we pondered the problem of unanswered prayer. The sermon can be found here. To many atheists the explanation for unanswered prayer is simple. There is no God. But what about answered prayers? Well that it is just coincidence. Has to be. If there is no God there can be no answered prayers.  [...]

This past Sunday we reflected on if seeking to live a good life actually made any difference to ourselves or the world around us. The way of the world seems to be that prosperity has no link to morality! The sermon can be found here. There are many who adopt an ‘ends justify the means’ [...]

This past Sunday we sang football related songs, raised money for the local Freeport Food pantry and reflected on ways we can help others.  Lots of links today! The sermon. Our congregations rendition of “Drop Kick me Jesus”. An update of the total money raised by the campaign. Thanks deservedly go to our youth that [...]

This past Sunday we reflected on the theme of where our lives may be heading. The sermon can be found here. One of the problems in seeking direction is that we are often just too caught up in the journey to stop and ask. Commitments on our time impede from all directions. Work, family, traveling [...]

This past Sunday, the fourth in Advent, our service took on a musical theme. We had special music from the choir augmented by trumpets and drums,  a wonderful anthem by the hand-bells and a Calypso Carol for childrens time. My own contribution was the Shepherd song … a version of which can be found here. [...]

Our lesson for the third Sunday in Advent focused on John the Baptist and his situation in prison. The sermon can be found here. The majority of us have those times in our lives when we seriously question the validity of our faith. If Christianity is such good news, how come our world is still [...]

We have a number of special programs in worship … children sing, instrumentalists accompany the choir, families light the candles each Sunday.  We also have a number of special collections. Mittens adorn the Christmas trees. There are boxes of food [...]
