Reflections from lockdown
Reflection 19th July
Reflection I mentioned earlier that, for the next 2 Sundays, our zoom services will be in the evening at 6pm, and then on 9th August we meet again online in the morning. But some of you will be going back to your own churches, as they reopen for worship; some who have been regular participants […]
Reflection 12th July
Reflection: ‘Good soil’ by Revd Sue McCoan Our bible reading this morning is a very familiar story. As we often do these days, we will hear it in two parts; and we will hear the first part now, before we start reflecting. Bible reading: Matt 13: 1-9 Jesus told parables, teaching stories, set in everyday […]
Reflection 5th July
Reflection 5th July by Revd Sue McCoan Yesterday was hailed as Liberation Day – or, in some of the papers, Super Saturday. After 100 days of lockdown, the pubs are open again! Hurrah! Also hairdressers and hotels and other businesses and, somewhere in the small print near the end of the article, places of worship. […]
Reflection 28th June
Hymn: Let us build a house where love can dwell © Marty Haugen 1994 Reflection by Revd Sue McCoan No prizes for guessing, from the hymn, that the theme for today is ‘welcome’ – the way we are made welcome, and the way we welcome others. It might seem like tactless timing, given that […]
Ga Dangme Fellowship 28th June
Good afternoon Brethren, As children of God, we are not exempt from the mountain top and valley experiences of life. Nevertheless, I do hold the firm belief that the God of the mountain is the God of the Valley just as He is also the God of both the night time and the day […]

We know him as our master. We know him as our friend. In him we see the Father, whose […]
Reflection 21st June
Reflection by Revd Sue McCoan Last week, we looked at Jesus sending out his twelve disciples to bring good news to the people around them. Our readings this week are from later on in that same briefing. In between the two readings, Jesus has told them not to take luggage, and just before the verses […]
21 June
Lectionary Bible readings Jeremiah 20.7-13; Psalm 69.7-10,11-15,16-18; Romans 6.1b-11; Matthew 10.24-39 Lord, you have called us to be your disciples. Thank you for trusting us with this privilege. Thank you for empowering us in the ways of service. Thank you for giving us courage when we are fearful. Thank you for your strength when we are […]
Reflection 14th June
Reflection by Revd. Sue McCoan If you’ve been watching anything on commercial TV lately, and you’ve seen the adverts, you will almost certainly have seen the one inviting people to pick this year’s crops. For umpteen years now, most of the soft fruit and summer vegetables in this country have been picked by seasonal workers, […]
