A new start
As Christians, one of the things we hold very dear is the idea of hope. We live in the knowledge that there is better to come ... as the Apostle Paul said to those in Corinth, if what we hope for is only what we can gain in this life then our hope is certainly in vain.

We stand on holy ground
4 When the Lord saw that Moses was coming closer, he called to him from the middle of the bush and said, “Moses! Moses!”

He answered, “Yes, here I am.”

5 God said, “Do not come any closer. Take off your sandals, because you are standing on holy ground. ^{Exodus 3:4-5}

Or is it the truth, that the ground is always holy - not just at that time but every time? Because Dear God, you are always with us.

Who need food, healthcare, shelter, community and care
And for whom Christ died…

And so, who are we?
who are the hungry?

Finding another way
“He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee.”
Matthew 28:6-7

There is a man who sells his wares in Dewsbury Market in Yorkshire, he approached me one morning, “surprised” he said to see me walking in that part of the town. Only because as he explained, he had never seen a minister here before. We had an interesting discussion, but his interest seemed to turn to contempt.
