This weekend, as we reflect on what it truly means to be the Church, Billy Graham reminds that it’s not about walls or windows – it’s about people gathered in Jesus’ name, living out His mission together.

‘Church is not a building. Church is the people who gather in the name of Jesus Christ to worship Him, serve Him, and take His message to the world.’
– Billy Graham

Hope Beyond the Silence

Remembrance Sunday is a sacred time—where silence speaks, memories echo, and honour is given. But it is also a moment to lift our eyes.

We remember not only those who gave their lives for peace—but the One who gave His life to bring us eternal peace.

In the words of Billy Graham:

‘I’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.’

Thought for today and everyday – In the busyness of daily life, it’s often the quiet acts of kindness, faithfulness, and grace that shine the brightest.

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining—they just shine.‘ — D. L. Moody
