Quote of the week:
The goal of the spiritual life is to allow the Spirit of Christ to influence all our activity,
prayer as well as service. Our role in this process is to provide conditions in our lives to enable
us to live in tune with [Christ’s] Spirit. Our effort is not a self-conscious striving to fill ourselves
with the important Christian virtues; it’s more getting out of the way and allowing [Christ’s] Spirit
to transform all our activities. Christ will do the rest. His Spirit has joined ours and will never abandon us.

A new initiative started by Sally Magnusson - Playlist for life – is hoping to set up locally.
Several churches are involved in a pilot program, and with 1 or 2 volunteers, we could join in.
It uses music to engage and involve those with dementia.
Training is provided and the commitment is possibly one evening a month.
