The Church. When I say church, what do you think of? A little white clapboard building with a steeple and a bell, or perhaps something a little more modern than that. The first picture is Seal Cove Wesleyan Church, and that was the church Angela’s mother grew up in and the church where Angela attended…
We the Church: What the Church is
The church! When you think of the church, what is it you think of? Maybe it’s Cornerstone. This might be where you met Jesus, where you were baptized and where you have grown in your faith. Maybe it’s the church from your childhood. The church where you met Jesus, where you were baptized and where…
The Day Everything Changed, for Peter
And just like that, everything changed. It had started out a day just like every other day. He had fished all night, and now he was cleaning his nets and preparing to head home to sleep. He was a fisherman, the son of a fisherman who had been the son of a fisherman. And then,…
The Day Everything Changed, for the Church
And just like that, everything changed. I wonder what they were thinking about on that day? Had they gathered together to celebrate the holidays or were they making plans for the future? We don’t know where they were, why they were there or even who all was there. But we do know that what happened…

The Day Everything Changed, For Hannah
And Just like that, everything changed. She was heartbroken, all she had ever wanted was to be a mother, and it seemed as if that was the one thing she’d never be. She lived in a society where children were considered to be a blessing from God and the greatest honour that could be bestowed…
The Day Everything Changed, For Mary
And Just like that, everything changed. We don’t know a lot about her, and most of what we think we know is wrong. But we do know that she had a day when everything changed. In the scripture that Amanda read for us was a description of those who were following Jesus on one particular…
The Day Everything Changed, For John
And just like that, everything changed. This wasn’t the way it was supposed to end. He was the product of a good family, he had been raised worshipping God, he had followed God’s calling, had done God’s work and had preached God’s message and this wasn’t the way it was supposed to end. In a…
