As I was reflecting on this rather different time we are living in, a theme that has been coming up is that of worshipping God in the wilderness. Naomi has posted worship videos that so we can join together even in our socially distant “wildernesses”. Derek referred to the idea of “wilderness” in his short address, posted on March 19 on our church website and fb page. Turns out, I have been studying Exodus also, and noticed a number of ..read more

A few things I grabbed from The PCC website for church today Responsive Call to Worship  One: The Lord is our Shepherd. Many: God leads us beside still waters. One: Christ restores our souls.

Prayer of Adoration and Confession  Gracious and loving ..read more

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our first blog post of our time apart.  First I would like to say that I hope and pray you all are doing well. I know it is a different and sometimes difficult situation we find ourselves in and I would urge you during this time if you can to rekindle a passion that might have slowed down with the busyness of life. Maybe its painting, crafts, reading, writing, etc. Whatever it may be, maybe this ..read more

Lingering in the morning

It is Black Friday, a day some people woke up very early in order to buy more items for their households, or friends and family. Like any other day I woke up earlier than most people, turned the kettle on, made a French press pot of coffee, and sat down with my bible and journal. These quiet mornings set the cadence for my day, they remind me that there is time enough to accomplish all the goals of the day ..read more

The prophet Micah penned some of the most famous verses in the bible. A church not far from here has them all over their building and stationary. A friend of mine has some of them inked onto his sizeable biceps, He has shown you, o man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humble with your God? (Micah 6:8). We have heard the call. We have ..read more

Like many people in the western world I cannot recall the first time I lifted a glass of alcohol and poured it down my gullet. I supposed it burned. I have a muddle of memories, any one of them could be the first time I drank the bitter elixir of the gods…I know for sure in grade 8 when I drank with the volleyball team I played on it wasn’t my first time, though drinking still had the novelty of ..read more

Focus during prayer
St Andrew's Presbyterian Church

This past Sunday I mentioned that one of the effects of a regular meditation practice in my life has ben an increased ability to focus. This is generally true of most folks. I said one of the aspects I most appreciate about this is how it impacts my prayer life. You see, I often find my mind wanders off when I am praying. I sit or kneel with the best of intentions and 5 seconds or 5 minutes later I ..read more

Holding tight

I recently preached on the Gospel according to John and I did not focus on 20:17 but I did spend time in my study pondering it. Call me sentimental but I was thinking about one of my the inner battles of parenting, the need to protect, prepare, and love our children all while not being overwhelmed by the thought that the day is coming when we will no longer be able to hold them, to protect them, even as we ..read more

Listening and Sharing

Most people know that Jesus was a proponent of loving your neighbour and treating others as you would like to be treated, this is known as the golden rule and it is a belief held in common by Christian and non-christian alike. The art of it is figuring out how to put it into practice, the living of it.  There is a story about Jesus being in a crowded area, he is on his way to heal the a powerful ..read more
