No one can get to heaven on their own – however good they might be. But the good news is that we can be invited into heaven by Jesus.
Hear more from our guest writer, the Rev. Michael Rusk, who lives in the beautiful city of Geneva in Switzerland.

Michael is Rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Church, the church right by the lake. He used to work in England and has three children who still live there - Matthew, Connie, and Felicity. Michael enjoys going on pilgrimage - long walks where Christians have walked for many centuries. He recently walked up to the Grand Saint Bernard pass in the Alps and was able to spend time there with the famous Saint Bernard dogs.

God allows US to decide whether we will share the love with others or choose to keep it for ourselves.

Start your summer hols with our new episode, guest written by the Rev. Stephanie Burette : "Where is Jesus? Can we meet him if he is not dead?"
⠀
Stephanie is a priest, a chaplain in a College in England, where she is also doing research (and doing more studies herself!). She spent six years at the American Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Paris and where she served as a youth leader. Before that, she taught French in middle school and high school, and at universities. So, her students were aged 10 years old to ... 60+! Because we never stop learning.

We learn that sounds and words have meanings. What are some words that are meaningful to you? Who do you say “I love you” to? https://hopeandjoybedtimebiblemeditationsforchildren.buzzsprout.com/1493536⁠ ⁠ #kidspodcast #childrensministry #applepodcasts #christianmom #mindfulkids #family #podcastsforkids #podcast #mindfulkids #inthebeginning #godislight #godislove #inclusivechurch #episcopalchurch #anglicanchurch #happynewyear #familycontent #kidsmedia #kidsmeditations #mindfulnesspodcast

In James 1:22 we hear, “Do what God’s teachings say; do not just listen, but practice what God teaches us.” Lent is a time of getting closer to God, a special time of thinking about how we live our lives, and if we are acting in ways that God would want us to. Join us as we talk about taking on a Lenten practice as a way to follow Jesus during this time. Big thanks to the Rev Rosberg for guest writing this episode and to The right Rev Mark Eddington, Bishop of the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe for writing our Lenten prayer. . . . #kidspodcast #childrensministry #applepodcasts #christianmom #mindfulkids #family #podcastsforkids #podcast #mindfulkids #inthebeginning #godislight #godislove #inclusivechurch #episcopalchurch #anglicanchurch #familycontent #kidsmedia #kidsmeditations #mindfulnesspodcast⁠ #Lent2021 #lentenpractice #lentenpodcast #lent #lentpodcast

Lenten prayer 2021
Lenten prayer 2021

Thank you Bishop Mark Edington for writing this beautiful Lenten prayer for our podcast ! Dear God, I know you love me so much. I know you are present in my life, Even in ways I can’t see. Help me to know your presence In the family I have at home In the beautiful world around me In the friendships that give me joy. Help me to be a little kinder to others than I might usually be A little more ready to help than I might usually be A little more willing to forgive than I might usually be. Be with me through this night And with everyone I love. Amen. --------- Join us on our Lent 2021 series on your favourite podcast site or here on our website : https://hopeandjoybedtimebiblemeditationsforchildren.buzzsprout.com #kidspodcast #childrensministry #applepodcasts #christianmom #mindfulkids #family #podcastsforkids #podcast #mindfulkids #inthebeginning #godislight #godislove #inclusivechurch #episcopalchurch #anglicanchurch #happynewyear #familycontent #kidsmedia #kidsmeditations #mindfulnesspodcast

Lenten Series Episode One: Setting the Table
Lenten Series Episode One: Setting the Table

WE’RE BACK with a new series of 7 episodes for Lent, Holy Week and Easter. Episode 1: Setting the Table is now available wherever you listen to podcasts. “Jesus often slipped away to quiet places so that he could pray.” -Luke 5:16 Have you ever tried to listen to a story, while the television is on or while someone is talking in the next room? It can be hard to focus. During Lent, Christians sometimes give something up so that they can better focus on God. What are you or your family giving up for Lent this year?
