Mandy reflects on John 12:1-8, the story of Mary of Bethany anointing Jesus's feet.  Mary is often held up as a disciple we should emulate because of her deep devotion to Jesus.  But in truth Mary was also a non-conformist and radical rule breaker.  She broke stereotypes and challenged the social conventions of the day.  Mary's example challenges us to worship and adore Jesus like she did: extravagently, not counting the cost and unconcerned by what others might think or say about us. 2025-04-0710 minBallina & Lennox Head AnglicansBallina & Lennox Head AnglicansCouch Church - hope and sharing the stories of JesusThis week in Couch Church Rev Cathy wonders who is sharing the stories of Jesus, especially with children.

Mandy reflects on Luke's sermon on the plain (Luke 6:17-26).  Jesus has some shocking things to say about what it means to be blessed in the kingdom of God.  He takes the personal aspirations of many people - to be financially comfortable, food to eat and to have happiness and say Woe to you.  Jesus is not calling us to be a bunch of miserable people but to look beyond our selves and to be aware of the pain of others and to respond to it with compassion and love. 2025-02-1712 minBallina & Lennox Head AnglicansBallina & Lennox Head AnglicansCouch Church - broken but followingThis week in Couch Church Rev Cathy reflects on a simple but powerful conversation that happens in the middle of the story of the 'fishers of people'; a conversation between Simon Peter and Luke.

Mandy reflects on Malachi 3:1-4 and Luke 3:1-6 and the role of repentance in preparing our hearts and lives for God.The Christian story is one of new beginnings and new hope.  Repentance is the transformational work that brings change.  As we practice confession and repentance we participate in God's forgiveness. God's forgiveness has the power to transforms us and make things right, both in us and in the world.  As God's transformed people, we are his agents of peace, hope and reconciliation in the world.2024-12-0912 minBallina & Lennox Head AnglicansBallina & Lennox Head AnglicansCouch Church - Christ the KingOn the feast of Christ the King, Rev. Mandy reflects on the nature of Jesus as King and his kingdom.  Jesus is king over all things and exalted because of his death on the cross.  Jesus's kingdom is not a place but made up of people who belong to the truth and listen to him.  The Holy Spirit testifies to our spirit the truth about Jesus.  Jesus is always speaking truth - truth about us,  the truth about our lives, and the truth about God.  2024-11-2512 minBallina & Lennox Head AnglicansBallina & Lennox Head AnglicansCouch Church - a fierce, praying womanThis week in Couch Church Rev Cathy dives into the story of Hannah.
