Dear friends,

It is with great joy that we welcome Clem and Stuart Taplin this coming Sunday to our worship with a special welcome to Clem as she preaches for us. This Sunday is the birthday of the parish in a way as we come together to rejoice in the fellowship of this parish and the whole church.

The distressing footage on our televisions during the week of nearly a million people in the streets of Hong Kong protesting against an increasingly menacing China reminds us how very fragile freedom can be. These protesters went on to the streets with the anniversary of the Tiananmen massacre still hot in their minds and with the distinct possibility of something similar happening in Hong Kong. How fortunate we are here that such oppressions and tyrannies do not exist. Whilst giving thanks we do remind ourselves that the ‘the price of freedom is eternal vigilance’ as Wendell Philips put it so long ago. Central to this freedom of ours is a free and open press that without fear or favour reports on matters that we sometimes don’t like or not agree with. China and its satellites have no such freedoms and many citizens have no idea what their government does and some of their citizens just disappear if they rock the boat. Give thanks today for our freedom as we pray for the people of Hong Kong, Taiwan and China and anywhere else where there is tyranny.

Happy Feast Day.

Grant.

Sincere thanks to Laurie and all who have given time for our ‘pop-up’ choir for Sunday’s service.

There will be no Morning Prayer or meditation on Thursday June 20th. All back to usual the following week.

Jesus was a healer – by Les Murray

Jesus was a healer

never turned a patient down

Never charged coin or conversion

started off with dust and spittle

 then re-tuned lives to pattern

simply by his attention

 often surprised himself a little

by his unbounded ability.

 

Jesus was a healer

Reattached his captor’s ear

 Opened senses, unjammed cripples

Sent pigs to drown delirium’

 cured a shy tug at his hem

learned to transmit resurrection

 could have stood more Thank You

for God’s sake, which was his own

 

Jesus was a healer

Keep this quiet, he would mutter

 to his learners.  Copy me

and they did to a degree

 still depicted on church walls

cure without treatment or rehearsals.
