John speaks to us for the final time at St. Mary's before leaving, encouraging us to remember that 'we are witnesses every time we come out of the front door!' By our redeemed lives will we proclaim the gospel to our neighbours.

Mark speaks to us about this seemingly insignificant encounter between Lydia and Paul, which ultimately lead to the growth of the church in Philippi which became a centre for Christianity in early Church History. Through reading scripture we are invited to allow our preconceptions to be challenged and to allow our vision to be changed so we can see the significance of small actions done out of obedience to God and love of his creation.

Helen speaks to us about Jesus' final days before the victory of the cross, comforting his disciples and giving them the new commandment, to love each other. It is through the wonderful gift of the Holy Spirit that our hearts are enlarged to love one another, just as Jesus has first loved us.

Andrew speaks to us about Peter's experience of the risen Christ, with Christ's challenging question 'do you love me?' This love which Christ convicts Peter of he gives us the same commandment, to feed his sheep.

Mark speaks on our culture of conspiracy theories and scripture, reflecting on the example of Thomas. A person who was willing to ask questions and to dig deeper into the mysteries of faith. Thomas is a hero for our time, not just a 'doubter,' but an example for the church to question and through experience find the faith to say 'my Lord and my God.'

Andrew reflects on our celebration of Easter & our journey towards the startlingly humble risen Christ, who chooses us, yes us(!), to bring his good news to others.

Andrew addresses the APCM, reflecting on the year past, looking at many areas of growth through the Spirit; in discipleship, prayer & mission.

Andrew speaks about rejection - how Jesus was unafraid of rejection for the sake of drawing all things to himself for their restoration.

Helen speaks to us about our restoration whenever we turn around and return to the loving arms of our Heavenly Father. Divine love is always unearned - it is sheer gift - but, unlike earned love, unearned love can never be lost.

Helen speaks to us on fruitfulness and repentance - as always digging into the context of the gospel. We hear again Jesus' courageous and challenging call - to turn from violence and ignorance towards honesty, peace and mercy - fruit that will last.
