We continue our series exploring the stories that Jesus told - why he told them, who he told them TO and what (if anything) we might learn from them now. Ellie helps us see Jesus' parable of growing seeds and sprouts (Mark 4:26​-29) in a very different light.

Today we orient our gathering around a book or a podcast. This month we are reflecting on Rev. Elizabeth M. Edman's book Queer Virtue: What LGBTQ People know about Life & Love and how it can revitalise Christianity.  We're also using this time together to introduce the season of Lent. And we have a special visit from Queer Virtue author Elizabeth Edman who talks with Danielle about "Glitter+Ash Wednesday" and how it started in NYC.

We mark 'Epiphany' - a Christian festival that commemorates the 'revealing' of the child Jesus to the world.  We continue our series exploring the stories that Jesus told - why he told them, who he told them TO and what (if anything) we might learn from them now. Faith Van Horne helps us get our heads around the enigmatic parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13).

Many of us have a desire to leave 2020 behind as quickly as possible, but potentially face more COVID restrictions before life, as we knew it, returns to normal.  With this in mind, how do we celebrate the chance of renewal that a new year brings while living in the "new normal"? How do adjust our expectation for a new year? And how do we keep hold of the parts of 2020 that have brought people together in the face of adversity while looking forward to the prospect of loosening of restrictions in the coming year?
