Merys will be sharing with us about two journeys Jesus made to events that are part of real life, events that we have all probably attended.

Have your Bible open in the New Testament at John chapter 1.   Are you like me, even in lockdown the time flies and the days merge into each other.

Today is the World Day of Prayer.    Please join in this prayer of confession written by the women of Vanuatu...   Let us confess our wrong actions to God, who is faithful and just, and ask for forgiveness.   Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. We stand before your house of grace to confess our sins. We confess that we have listened to your word but have not acted on it. Often, we do the things we ought not to do and leave undone the things we ought to do.   We face adversities and challenges in our homes and nations. We try to build our homes, thinking we are building on the words of Jesus Christ, but actually we have built on the sand. We want to be changed so that we do what is right and just.   Creator God, we confess that we have polluted the environment and harmed the sea creatures by throwing rubbish into their habitats. We endanger the marine life and ruin sustainable livelihoods. We confess and regret our actions, and we commit...
