I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him (Psalm 34:1,8).

Warm welcomes build communities
It’s hard to go past a friendly smile greeting you at the door before Sunday worship, or that warm cup of tea or coffee after service. Isn’t that what makes our faith communities welcoming? Whether new faces or regulars, being made to feel welcome is how we connect as a community.
How much is enough?
You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God (2 Corinthians 9:11).
If only you had been here, Lord
‘Lord,’ Martha said to Jesus, ‘if you had been here, my brother would not have died’ (John 11:21).
God’s will
For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day (John 6:40).
How can we respond with compassion?
Recently International Refugee Week was recognised. Such occasions are a chance to reflect on our response to people in this predicament, says LCANZ Cross-Cultural Ministry Facilitator Craig Heidenreich.
