Today we enjoyed a visit from Rev. Bill Loader who shared a message with us. Prior to watching it would be beneficial to read all of today's Lectionary readings, but particularly the well-known John 14:1-14.

26/04/2026

Today's Message relating to Leadership was shared with us from Rev. Graeme MacRaild, first supported by the Lectionary Readings from Acts Chapter 2 verses 42-47 and John Chapter 10 verses 1-10, the Parable of the Good Shepherd, read by Merran Cannon.

He is risen!

“In God’s resurrection of Jesus, we witness the most important truth of our world. Darkness will yield to light. That from the tomb of despair, it is life and hope that will emerge victorious. And that there is nothing so broken that it can’t be mended. Even death will lose its sting.” Gershon Nimbalker

We pray you have a blessed Easter Sunday and invite you to join in prayer today, led in a prayer written by Rev Dr Melinda Cousins. . .

Redeeming Creator, make us like the dreamers
Awaken our imaginations
to see hope for the future
Your Kingdom breaking in
with justice, compassion, and truth.

Renewing Spirit, flood us with streams in the desert
Evoke our emotions
to feel the pain of our sisters and brothers
Crying out in lament
for release, freedom, and welcome.

Restoring King, send us out to bring change
Enliven our hands and feet
to sow seeds of justice
Walking together in new paths
of righteousness, blessing and rejoicing.
Amen. . .

Gershon’s quote is taken from his Good Friday reflection - originally shared with our movement in 2024, his reflection helps point us to the deep truths and hope we have in God’s resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday.
