The Gull and the Ball
In the park, a herring gull
Found a purple plastic ball.
Pecked at it,
Picked it up in its beak,
Dropped it,
Pecked at it some more.
Poole Park in Early Spring
Mid February. A sunny Sunday afternoon.
The first warm day of the year.
The people of Poole head to the Park,
Eager to take the air.

Learning about being a disciple, how Jesus empowered and trained his disciples, and how he wants to empower us as disciples today.
Sin and Forgiveness
The story of Jesus having dinner at a Pharisee’s house and meeting a ‘sinful woman’. An account that challenges our perception about sin and forgiveness.
The Year of the Lord’s Favour
Jesus preaches in the synagogue in Nazareth and reads the text from Isaiah proclaiming the year of the Lord’s favour. Are we living in that favour today?
John the Baptist prepares the Way
John was ready to listen to God. John was willing to be a witness. John did not compromise with the truth. John chose to follow Jesus. Will we follow his example?
