The people wanted a King. Pastel, Mark A Hewitt 7 June 2012
This is not a joyous occasion, the people again reject God. God & the prophet Samuel were not happy yet God stays with the people and they get their king.
Pentecost 2 Yr B 1 Samuel 8:4-11, 16-20
Tricycle, Mark A Hewitt, photo 2012
What’s this? – A tricycle. It’s special on in our family – an old one I restored our eldest was a baby. It has since been used for many years which is why it looks so loved. What makes tricycles good? 3 wheels – very stable. Will it work if one of the wheels are taken away? – No. All 3 wheels are equally important & they work together as one. A tricycle is not a tricycle without all three.
Trinity Sunday Yr B John 3:1-17
When the day of Pentecost came. Mark A Hewitt, Pastel & pen. 26 May 2012..
Acts 2:1-3 (NRSV) ‘When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them.‘
Pentecost Yr B
Followers of ‘The Way’ gather, Mark A Hewitt, Pastel & Pen, 25 May 2012
Acts 1:15 In those days Peter stood up amoung the believers, together the crowd numbered about one hundred and twenty persons ……
The followers of Jesus continued to meet over a number of days after the Ascension.
You get the idea of them coming and going. Doing what they need and then returning to the gathered community. A bit like a church camp.A fluid movement of people.
