New Year thoughts
On Sunday 29th December I took a service at Brighouse Central Methodist Church. Our theme was the journeys of Joseph, drawing parallels between Joseph of the Old Testament and Joseph who was betrothed to Mary. We reflected on the fact that, despite their uncertain futures, they were able to put their trust in God and step out in faith.
In our reflections on this we considered two well known poems that can remind us that life’s challenges are resolved in God’s time and not our own, and also that when facing these challenges we are not on our own.
The poems are included below:

Now is the time!
Having tried to fit the Faith and Worship course around a busy family and professional life and having submitted SOME work to my mentor and tutor, this summer is the time when the work will be done. I have a plan, and this blog forms part of it, to work through the whole of the course by the end of September. It is ambitious. It is scary. Yet, in faith, I must have a go as finishing the course will, I suspect, lead to other questions that need to be answered. Today and tomorrow are days when outstanding parts of units from A and B will be finished and uploaded. From Wednesday, my younger children have finished school for the summer so work will be done in the evenings……….. there will be a bulletin at the end of each day. This way I will document my successes or otherwise during…
All in a name………..
Well, trial service approaching and potentially I may become a ‘Preacher on Trial’ (sounds dodgy?) as opposed to a ‘Preacher on Note’. Dilemma – should I change my Twitter name or not?
