Live Stream not so “live”
last week ...
Apologies to those of you in the congregation near and far who tried to tune in to our live stream service last Sunday, the 13th. It wasn’t you! It was a problem at our end. We are consulting with our tech guru this week and should have everything smoothed out in time for our service this Sunday. We look forward to sharing worship with you once again!

What’s Included:
Nine podcast/audio episodes: six in English and three in Spanish. Each podcast episode contains three 18-minute talks led by leaders on evangelism and discipleship. Learn more about our presenters here. Listen to the podcast episodes here.

Dear God, I would like to become a little child and rest my soul in you. I’m tired of the loneliness, tired of the struggle, I want to surrender but I don’t know how. You see, I have this problem of being adult. I belong to the generation which makes decisions, plans, works, accepts responsibility, takes pride in being independent. Adults are supposed to manage their lives. They are concerned with owning things and making things happen, and they don’t like to look small or foolish. Dear God, for a long time I’ve been living at the centre of a world which has prevented me from entering the Kingdom of God.
Parent God, show me how to become your child. I am aware of the advice that Jesus gives. He does not say that we should remain in infancy. He says that we should become as little children. This tells me that I need to know the futility of independence before I can let go of it. It is the letting go which is difficult. I know you are there, waiting to give yourself to me, but I’m afraid to commit myself. Please help me to loosen this grip on my pride so that I can hold out my hands to you and be enfolded in your love.
