In the talent programme ‘The Voice’, the judges sit with their backs to the performers.  If they like what they hear and think they have potential, they turn their chair around to see them. Today, some Greeks have heard of Jesus, and now want to see him for themselves.

Read John 12:20-36

The Greeks ask to see Jesus; the crowd tells him that what he says is not in line with what they have heard.  
Job said: “I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.” (Job 42:5, NRSV)

Have you ever come up against a challenge to your faith?  How did you deal with that?  What did you learn from it?  Did it change your faith?  Did it help you to see Jesus more clearly?

“Open our eyes, Lord,
We want to see Jesus” – from the chorus by Robert Cull.

Can you make this your prayer?
Can you ask to see more than you have seen up to now, even if it challenges what you think you know?

Wrose Buddies - A wonderful success story at Wrose Methodist Church

By
Approached by the Halle Project in 2012 to see if we would be interested in setting up a Well Being Cafe, the church was excited at the prospect of setting up a monthly session for those who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's, for their carers, for the lonely and housebound. Jean and John Watmough worked in conjunction with Carol at halle and put together a group who would provide once a month a haven for those with particular need. For various reasons it could not be called a Well Being Cafe, and so the name "Wrose buddies" was born. Carol organises taxis to bring people to the church hall once a month, lays on the entertainment, the music, a speaker, food. From the start a charge of £3 per person and a voluntary payment of £1 per strip for the raffle was asked for and willingly given. a group of volunteers was formed and meets once a month before the session to make preparations so that those attending have an afternoon to remember. At first numbers were reaching 20...
