A sermon by Dominic Steele What is the meaning of life? Here’s what I think. There is no meaning to life.

A sermon by David Raey Those of us with children or grandchildren may be familiar with the so called magic writing boards. You write or draw something on them and then by turning a dial or sliding a handle what you write or draw is erased. The plastic sheet is clear once again. If you … Continue reading
A sermon by Harry Goodhew INTRODUCTION Good morning. Let me ask you, “What things trouble you most?” Do you have issues that cause you anxiety and concern?
