Lost Coins and New Members- Message 3rd March 2019

On By Lesley-Anne WeirIn Church sermons, News and eventsLeave a comment

In today’s All Age Service our Youth Worker, Cassie, looked at the Parable of the Lost Coin, in which a woman loses a precious coin, searches for it and celebrates its finding with friends and neighbours. After an interactive telling of the story, Cassie considered the significance of the Parable for us.

Our minister, Peter, then spoke about what it means to become a member of the Church. The congregation welcomed a number of new members.

Jonah 1

In this sermon Rev. Peter Bluett tackles the story of Jonah from the book of the same name. Whilst noting the Western tendency to view it as a story about an individual prophet, he points to some compelling evidence which identifies it as a parable about the Hebrew nation’s attitude to its neighbours following the Babylonian exile.
