A Message from our minister
On Sunday we are challenged to decide where our Comfort Zone is!?
Are you the sort of person who is always playing it safe?
Risk averse?
Cautious?
Jesus asked … a fisherman to take care of His flock!
a tax-collector to share love with those around him!
a religious zealot to accept the foreigner and stranger!
His Disciples were all taken out of their Comfort Zones. Away from family and home. Along dusty backroads to foreign parts. Into the ‘lion’s den’ of Jerusalem, the HQ of Pharisee, Scribe, Sadducee.
Jesus promised to be with them, to provide all that they would need, to give them the authority and power to deal with whatever they would face.
Jesus calls us to step out of our Comfort Zones to share His Love and spread the Good News and promises the same things to us today through the Holy Spirit.
Are you ready to Fully Rely On God?
Join us in stepping out in faith.
As usual …
God Bless,
REV Mark RS Smith

Jesus ,You called the Disciples to continue Your work,
and gave them authority to carry it out.
We thank You that as we step out of our comfort zone
the Holy Spirit is with us.
Lord God, make us ready to follow Jesus’ example
as we step out in faith wherever you lead us.
Prayer theme: Ask God to build your faith and courage to step out of your comfort zone.

HELPING TREES
Have you thought about nurturing these, especially fruit trees?
1. When beneficial insects fall from the canopy to complete their life cycle, a tightly-mowed lawn can be a death sentence. By creating ‘Soft Landings’ and ‘Wild Patches’ you provide sanctuary for the army that eats your pests and keep the cycle of new growth and fruitfulness going.
2. Do not dig up the turf around a tree, as this can damage sensitive feeder roots of your fruit tree.
3. Lay down a thick layer of overlapping plain brown cardboard (or several layers of wet newspaper) directly over the grass and cover the cardboard with 10-15 cm of organic mulch. Arborist wood chips are the gold standard as they provide a diverse diet for the soil fungi.
4. Keep the mulch at least 15 cm away from the trunk of the tree to prevent rot and rodent damage.
5, You can also plant a variety of supporting species in the space.
