Finding beauty in the rubble
​
When life comes tumbling down it can be hard to see God's hand in the midst of the devastation and suffering. 

In her latest article Jenny shares the story of a small and delicate teacup found in the midst of the rubble of the 'Great Kanto' earthquake and considers the ways in which God gives us glimmers of hope in our times of distress.

​going forward.

​Different hands

​Amid the challenges of the New Year Jenny encourages us all to offer those 'different hands' which give value and self-respect to those around us.

​Journeys
Picture
Merle considers the journeys we plan and make to visit family at Christmas, journeys which sometimes don't go to plan. Joseph and Mary's journey back to Nazareth after Jesus' birth didn't go to plan.
​How do we respond when our journey through life doesn't go to plan?

​ HCC Podcasts
John and Shealan recorded a series of interviews which explore the importance of understanding ourselves and some of the mental and emotional health issues that we face. ​They explore questions such as why it is so important to understand ourselves and our temperaments, the root causes of anxiety and depression and how to help ourselves and others. Important issues such as relationship conflict and healing are also covered.​
The discussions are practical and very helpful - well worth listening to! Click the here to ​view and listen to the podcasts.
