beauty in the city & a village chapel



Walking up the steps from the station we came across a bit of
waste ground and there standing proud was a most beautiful Sunflower set against the setting of our city of Sanctuary. It seemed very poignant and lifted the spirit. How did it get there? Did someone deliberately place it there to bring joy?

Nature has this amazing talent to transform landscapes even when people don't seek to do anything. So often cities are seen as places of concrete, tarmac roads, tower blocks. We are still invited by our creator to see it's beauty. To work with it to create a complementary use of nature thats allows for diversity.


 Our own back garden in Burngreave gives us the opportunity to try and make a difference to the environment. It attracts the wildlife and provides us with pleasure. Our own little sanctuary.










Last Sunday I led worship at our Warren Methodist Church for the final time. It too has been a special sanctuary for people seeking God, and a faithful community offering worship and service. This Autumn the building will close but the people will  move on to carry on worshipping and serving within our Chapeltown Methodist Church.
Just as nature has to adapt to the changing climate and work with humanity's creation, so does the Christian community.
