Neil Armstrong

Neil Armstrong passed away this week. In his honour here are two lesser known facts:

1)He was a Ukulele player and requested one to be left in quarantine to pass his time. (See photo)

2)He was a Christian. He and Buzz took communion before emerging from the Pod.

I Won't Be Lazy - A Parody of 'Call Me Maybe' by Carley Ray Jepsen

A song for Woodmansterne primary school. It was performed on the last Tuesday assembly of the Summer term. It reminds us that holiday is not so we can be lazy but to have fun, help others and serve our family. Lyrics and chords are below (as well as the original and Cookie Monster Version videos)



G Em* C D
I threw my bag on the floor,
ain’t got to work now at all
I kicked my shoes off my feet,
And now I’ll watch T.V

My Mum is whinging at me,
”Do chores and turn off T.V”
but it’s my holiday time,
I turned the volume up.

Wait! What am I doing?
getting fat with all this chewing
lawn is needing mowing.
Should I help my parents, maybe?


CHORUS
Hey, it’s the summer,
And I feel lazy,
playing consoles,
and watching T.V.
It’s time to do right,
stop thinking of me,
start helping others.
I won’t be lazy!

Hey, it’s the summer,
go and climb trees
play some football
swim in the sea

I’ll use the body
that God gave me
for fun and service.
I won’t be lazy!

I’ll go out, have some fun,
not sit all day on my bum,
I’ll use my holiday time,
to play out with my friends.

I’ll clean the table at home,
I’ll wash the dishes with mum,
I’ll do whatever I can,
to love my family.

Great, we’re doing better
loving one another
Love like Jesus loves us.
I want to be more like him, today!

 CHORUS 
 
BRIDGE
C G
When I live just for myself

D
my life is so bad

C
my life is so bad

D C
my life is so, so bad

But when we live for someone else
and live for Jesus
His love completes us
and makes us so, so glad.

CHORUS 2 G Em* C D
I’ll use the body
that God gave me
for fun and service.
I won’t be lazy!



It’s time to do right,
stop thinking of me,
start helping others.
I won’t be lazy!


Hey, it’s the summer,
go and climb trees
play some football
swim in the sea




BRIDGE 2
C G
When I live just for myself

D
my life is so bad

C
my life is so bad

D C
my life is so, so bad

But when we live for someone else
and live for Jesus
His love completes us
D G
I won’t be lazy!

Lectio Divina

Scripture knowledge today, even among Christians, is poor. I Have been a student of scripture most of my life and I still find my knowledge lacking, and even more the living out of the message. One great way to help us engage with scripture is Lectio Divina. You may have heard the phrase before. Here is a fantastic introduction by Dr. Joanne Jung to what it is and how to do it. Give it a listen, give it a go and see what God has to say and have you do today.

Some Guidelines for Reading Old Testament Narrative

In the west we are often more comfortable with the New Testament as it fits into the Hellenistic framework we're used to. The Old testament can sometimes feel puzzling and even when we read commentaries it can sometimes be hard to see how they came to that conclusion. Here are 10 principles copied from Julian Freeman which can help us interpret Old Testament narrative passages.
