Dramatic monologue: ‘I don’t believe it!” Fifth Sunday in Lent John 11: 1 - 45 They said he was dead, but it seems a bit suspicious to me. How can they prove it? I know we’d had all the weeping and wailing and the body put in the tomb and the door sealed to keep him in and t…

A New Day Dawns
by Andrew T Murphy
A hymn for Easter Sunday. This hymn expresses the magnitude of Christ's resurrection on Easter Day as not just "the day after the Sabbath... the first day of the week", but the dawn of a new age of God's saving activity, even the start of the 8th Day of creation...
Foot washing was no Joke!
Foot washing was no Joke!
by Tim Pillinger

Poem: We were ashamed
by Marjorie Dobson
Poem: We were ashamed We were ashamed. We’d been caught out. We thought he hadn’t heard us. We wouldn’t have been talking about it if we’d known. We were ashamed. Boasting about our own achievements. Scoring points over each other. Even though we knew none of us could better him.…

Prayer: Confession
Prayer: Confession
by Marjorie Dobson
