Bluff Point Methodist
Spring is upon us! Can’t you just feel it in the air? We are planning to have Zoom and in-person church following CDC recommendations beginning Sunday May 2. Please text or phone Babs Steinert for your reservation and place in the sanctuary!
Our scripture lesson from Acts 6: 1-7 today showed us the life and faith of Stephen, someone we don’t speak of often. Stephen was chosen as a deacon. He brought cultural diversity to the church. He lived his faith openly and was steeped in God. He was well-versed in God’s word.
Pastor Sandi asked us if we are bold in our love for God. Do we show courage and love? Are we willing to possibly annoy people to show our love for God and what we believe in? Stephen had the strength he needed to stand up for God. Stephen even pleaded for forgiveness for those men who stoned and eventually killed him!
It is one of our few pleasures and to get this free coffee today made our day. Mobile coffee vans and takeaway cafes are becoming more popular in lockdown with people seeking out somewhere they can go for a walk and a drink while sticking to the rules. The Around a Pound ‘horsebox’ coffee shop had become a fixture at the Jumbles reservoir – but has now had to move to Queen’s Park due to complains from some nearby residents. And Turton Tower is set to introduce parking charges later this year as its car park becomes more crowded with walkers, while the historic hall itself is shut.
