TEA'S UP!
Welcome to the virtual church hall. Since we don't get much of an opportunity to get to know each other properly on Sundays here is your opportunity to join in the banter. Here you can share your ideas, your good news, comment on world affairs and have a good old moan (well, try to keep it balanced!)
Hoping to hear from you soon.

Lovely to see I am going to get a cup of tea (albeit virtually) I usually have to make my own. Best wishes to all viewers and contributors of the Holy Family webblog. i'm off to Australia soon. See you all in 3 and a bit weeks. God Bless.
Just a few thoughts I had recently,we have had the week of prayer for Christian Unity and of course there are similar events. However, according to a pundit on a site I visited recently Christians of all denominations will form a minority religion by the year 2030 if not well before!
I think Christians of all 'labels' at grass roots level should seriously deepen awareness of our 'Oneness in Christ'.
Never mind the 'High Level Management' problems which of course must be addressed but there is so much more that could be done on the 'Shop Floor'.
Perhaps two or three local churches could establish a 'covenant' and pledge to develop such things as shared prayer, combined outreach, social events, pilgrimage, in fact anything that would promote a real sense of solidarity and wider community without compromising doctrinal issues that are the domain of the 'Management'.
If it became clear that the 'Workers' were really serious about unity perhaps the Holy Spirit would inspire the leaders of our churches with answers to accomplish the Lord's Prayer that 'All may be One!' what a powerful witness to seekers for the true meaning to life!
Just a few thoughts I had in my cave
Yogi
Thanks for dropping by, Yogi. I couldn't agree more. To be fair, the local church leaders do have their monthly fraternal lunches and indeed a covenant of sorts. I believe they made a 'promise to play nicely together' several years ago. What is a shame is that, as you rightly point out, the commitment isn't really there with the people. So many of yer actual pew punters see combining efforts with other churches as some kind of a betrayal to their own denomination. More tea, Yogi?
Who's had the wind??

We all of us need help at some time or another. Was that an offer? If so reveal yourself through the usual channels. The good news is we NEVER turn down an offer of help!!!
