The key word is: ‘Prevention’

The key word is: ‘Prevention’

September is Suicide Prevention Month, and perhaps the most important word in that phrase is 'prevention.' Suicide should not be something we speak about only after a tragedy has happened. Prevention invites us to talk, to listen, to learn, to notice one another, and to remind people that help is available and that no one should have to carry overwhelming pain alone.
Flash Flood Warning!

Flash Flood Warning!

I was busy bringing together all the ingredients for a recipe passed down to me by my grandmother, preparing the dish I wanted to share with my siblings after worship.

Only the unforgivable needs forgiveness – Part I

Only the unforgivable needs forgiveness – Part I

The Power of Forgiveness | One of the most difficult things for human beings is both to forgive and to ask for forgiveness. Countless pages have been written on the subject in books, editorials, academic works, letters, blogs, social media posts, and articles.

The strange way of Jesus | Part 2

A Lenten opportunity to care

A Lenten opportunity to care

Today I would like to invite you to remember that Lent is a season that calls us to pause and look again at our faith and at the world around us, because we believe that following Jesus is about prayer, and reflection, but also about love in action. Throughout the Gospels we see how Jesus constantly paid attention to those whom society often overlooked: the poor, the sick, the lonely, and the forgotten.
Let us get ready for Lent together!

Let us get ready for Lent together!
