As I’ve listened to the news this week, it has prompted me to think about the difference it makes to any community whether people choose to keep what they have to themselves or to share it with others. The differences can be stark whether we are thinking about sharing our time, sharing what we own or...

Good evening, everyone. I hope you have had a fruitful day and can find some blessings which you can reflect on as we prepare for the night ahead. This evening, I have chosen to read a very familiar psalm, Psalm 23. At a time when many people are suffering with illness and others with lack of...
