Sermon: Pentecost 2009

Equipment: Popcorn and Popcorn Maker Sometimes the best way to think about something so complex and multilayered as the action of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost is to use a really, really simple analogy. Here in my hand I have a few small corn kernals: they are closed, tight, hard. You can…

Dynamic Reading: Matthew 18:1-5,10

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cbShmm8akI First draft. I think I need to tinker a little with the Chromakeying in the middle there. Zoë’s dollies get another starring role along with the statue of the sacred heart in my study.

Blesséd Gathering

I can’t believe that I have gone so long without uploading this video, a mainstay of Blesséd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFOGeOcgVCs Music: Smokebelch Images: Madonna’s Ray of Light – if you look closely, there is a split second where I missed the edit and she appears in a fade-up

The curse of the multicoloured stole

Now one thing you can’t accuse me of being is a tat queen. The vestments at STE are simple and functional and, quite frankly, right for a small church with a moderate amount of ritual and a handful of servers, whom we are slowly moving out of albs from the 1950s and into cassocks and…

Putting things in perspective

Thanks to GraphJam for putting it all in perspective. Next week I am off to the Christian Resources Exhibition, an all-singing, all-dancing and all-powerful show-fest for companies that want to sell things to Churches. This isn’t bad for getting a set of bibles (hopefully cheaply) or an interesting book or two; but with it comes…

Nice People

The nice people at TASS Cable Management have been very kind to us, and donated an important part of equipment for the reordering plans. Our prayers and blessings go to them.

Reordering

I thought people might like to know where we are at in our next stage of reordering, as soon some more big changes are going to happen inside St. Thomas the Apostle, Elson and I hope and pray some things might happen outside as well. The faculty for floor levelling, heating and electrics has been…
