WEEKLY MESSAGE 

Moments of Light

In shadows deep where silence lies, Awake, alert, let wonder rise.

Each fleeting breath, a spark divine,

In every heartbeat, truths align.

A whisper found in rustling leaves,

In laughter shared, the heart believes. Epiphanies in everyday grace,

Unlock the worlds we often chase.

So linger close and take your time,

For in this life, each moment’s rhyme Carries the weight of wisdom’s call,

An endless gift inside us all.

Serving Christ Together,

Bishop McGregor
