I have always been challenged by the parable of the rich fool. Jesus warns against greed and stresses the foolishness of depending on material things for security.

Ascension Day is when we celebrate Jesus going to be with his Father. Jesus honoured his apostles (and now honours us) by entrusting them with the task of carrying out his mission. The task was first of all one of preaching. They were to tell the Good News to all those who had never heard it. We thank God for the preachers and worship leaders at Wesley and in our Circuit who faithfully fill our pulpit on Sunday mornings to ensure the Gospel can be heard.

This month we celebrate two important events which are the Coronation of King Charles and the coming of the Holy Spirit on the apostles.
