Make time

18/12/2025

Make Time is moving on! In the New Year most of us hope to join the Alpha course in January on a Thursday evening, and there will be get-togethers at monthly Craft Evenings for Grown-ups at St Oswald's Church. Other ideas are floating around - get in touch if you want to be kept up to date when we plan something.

We won't post photos of pastries so often (!) as we won't be doing Monday morning Make Time. "There's a time for everything under the sun." We will continue to support each other and invite others to be part of what we do. But it will look different!

We had a lovely time this morning and watched the end of yesterday's Songs of Praise (from Coventry and Birmingham!) Rachel Hughes spoke about the peace that reconnecting with God brought her.

At MakeTime yesterday we thought about the labels others give us, both good words or harmful ones, we especially focused on how connecting with a loving creator can change how we see ourselves.

Today we heard Bear Grylls talking about his personal faith - and the importance of community! Yes! We'll continue to build community and talk about faith, with our Make Time friends.

Here's the link if you want the music as well :-)

We talked about how hurt, anger, and bitterness can feel like a hard, heavy stone for us. We chaated about how a connection with God may help us to forgive and let resentment go. 🙏

It was so good to see everyone and have a good catch-up after half term 😊 We chatted about the Bible story of Adam and Eve and if it can help us understand the way our children sometimes behave 🤔

We has a lovely time yesterday. We talked about our hopes for the afterlife and what we would like to be remembered for. Why do we even think about such things? Is it because we're more than particles and DNA?

We talked had a lovely time this morning, we talked about prayer (with the help of Bruce Almighty!) and tried post-it prayers. Thank you God for our lovely friends at Make Time. 🙏 We also had cake from Sunday's celebrations with Bishop Sophie too enjoy as well as each other's company.

We had a lovely day today. We shared songs today that were meaningful to each of us helped to stir our souls!

Glitter jars with just one dot of blue - an illustration of our planet's place in the universe. A tiny blue dot containing all of human history, all of our experiences...
Does this make us wonder if there's - an alternative reality? any meaning to our lives? someone or something out there?
Does the fact we humans ask ourselves such questions indicate that we are spiritual? More than just a body and brain?

Lovely to see everyone back at MakeTime yesterday 😀 It was good to catch up, next Monday we will start on a new topic each week.
