It is easy for politicians to make a Promise – If we get elected, we will do this…… The hard thing is keeping those promises and a failure to do so has resulted in many politicians finding themselves without a job. The public it seems has a low tolerance for those who promise much and then fail to deliver. In fact, I suspect most of us have a low tolerance for anyone who makes a promise and then fails to keep it. How often have your children said, “But you promised!”
Genesis 21 is the story of a promise made many years before, finally coming to fruition. And the promise fulfilled is treated with much joy and fanfare. I wonder what promise you may have been waiting to have fulfilled. How hard has the waiting been? How will you celebrate when it finally happens?

This coming Sunday: We continue our series looking at the life of Abraham. What can we learn from this great figure about faith and failure?

Mainly Music – Wednesdays from 10.00am during school terms. This programme is a fun way for parents and their children to spend quality time together based around music and movement.

It is also a way for us to demonstrate care, concern, and support for those with young children.
