Recently I stood on the beach at twilight trying to spot the comet everyone was talking about. Find the brightest light in the sky, down slightly and to the right, the experts said. So, we watched and waited and hoped the skies would reveal something to us but nothing appeared to my naked eye. The next day there was a beautiful photo of the comet on the net taken by a photographer.
Isn’t it frustrating when we can’t see what others can see, or even worse when they can’t see what we can see. John tells the story in his Gospel about a man born blind who is healed and can see and a group of religious leaders who refuse to ‘see’ what has taken place. Sometimes our inability to see is based on our own prejudices and not our eyesight. What might God want you to ‘see’ this week?
If you are struggling at this time and just need someone to talk to, then please email us at office@pb.org.nz or call 0223075225 and we will contact you.
This Sunday @ 10am This coming Sunday we continue our series looking at encounters Jesus has with others as told by the writer of the Gospel of John. This week we are looking at John 9 and a story about a man born blind.

Mainly Music – Wednesdays from 10.00am during school terms. This programme is a fun way for parents and their children to spend quality time together based around music and movement. It is an opportunity for us as a church to connect with and offer something back to the community of which we are a part. It is also a way for us to demonstrate care, concern, and support for those with young children.
