Ecclesiastes 3v1-16
Spring is here, a time of waiting, of expectation...
Spring is here, a time of…
preparing new ground
planting new plants
nurturing new seedlings
tending new shoots
protecting new buds
A time of…
clearing out the old
throwing away the tarnished
discarding the wasted
emptying out the junk
chucking out the crap
A time of…
dreaming new dreams
thinking new thoughts
making new plans
growing new goals
welcoming new hope
A time of…
holding tight the fragile
embracing the vulnerable
nurturing the young
becoming aware of the potential
longing for summer
Time to recommit, to begin again the work… the rest of winter is over… the glory of summer is just beginning.
Silence - reflecting on a seed held in the hand [grow in me and through me]
Acts 1v1-11
The Christ,
was amongst us… we loved him.
has died… we grieved.
has risen again… we celebrated.
has returned to the godhead… we marvelled.
has promised to be with us to the end of the age… now we live as the promise is fulfilled again and again... like spring follows winter, without fail, year upon year, age upon age.
lighting a central candle
Creator who birthed the world,
breathe your life into us.
Saviour who entered the world,
stretch out your hand to us.
Spirit who pervades the world.
fill and overflow us.
