Stewardship and Mission
This article has been adapted from Roqueta, July 2014. In early June, Santa Margarita was contacted by the local television station, IB3, and we were asked for the opportunity to do a small feature on the church. Fascinated by this intriguing request, we offered our cooperation, although I am still not entirely sure what prompted […]
JaFfA Club and Daniel
JaFfA Club for July was about Daniel and the lions’ den. We had a little play, about King Darius, and his bad advisors who persuaded him to sign a law that prohibited prayer – and which was designed to incriminate Daniel. We decorated cup cakes with lions’ faces. And we constructed paper lions’ heads. The […]
Corpus Christi
Thursday is designated as the day of Corpus Christi, the commemoration and celebration of the institution of the Eucharist, or Holy Communion.

Corpus Christi […]

Anniversaries
(This article is reproduced from the June issue of Roqueta, Menorca’s English language magazine.) This June sees the occurrence of a number of noteworthy anniversaries, some of which remain relevant in either poignant or disturbing ways today. For example, 150 years ago, on 2 June 1864, the Caucasian Wars, the Russian conquest of the Caucasus […]
Maya Angelou: I Am A Christian
Dr Angelou’s poem, “I Am A Christian,” expresses a combination of humility and commitment in Christian faith. When I say… “I am a Christian” I’m not shouting “I’m clean livin’.” I’m whispering “I was lost, Now I’m found and forgiven.” When I say… “I am a Christian” I don’t speak of this with pride. I’m confessing that […]
