Yesterday morning I did a Bible walk with some folks from Mountview Uniting Church. One of the things they asked me was to tell them the story of someone I know from the street who’s had their life transformed. I said that I know a lot of people who’ve been able to make changes in [...]

Tomorrow night I’ll be using this animation at Collins Street Baptist Church, for the first Sunday of Advent.
It is based on the lectionary reading from Jeremiah 33:14-16. Just before this section, Jeremiah has been talking about how God has allowed the Babylonians to destroy Israel, because of their evil. But he says they will have another [...]

I mentioned a couple of days back that Advent starts on Sunday. Advent is the time in the church calendar when we await the birth of Jesus, which we remember on Christmas Day. Blythe Toll has put together some reflections for Advent (scripture readings, queries, video), which you can find here.

Took the blocks to Pain in the Arts today, and we talked a little bit about getting in touch with the inner artist-child. Was thinking about how it often seems like creativity is not that important. I’d say that opportunities to be creative are quite important to the Credo community. If you can’t be creative, [...]
