Welcome to this meandering thoughts of life in ministry with a ponder about the nature of the General Assembly rather content of it, a reminder not to demonise teenagers and the joys of family life!

Shared the story of the two builders from the Message version and wondered just how words have been spoken around me this past week!

Enjoy and I'll hopefully be more focussed next week!

After a week off I am back to share some of the small details of parish ministry. I disappear down a path about connections, ponder putting service together, contemplate what it means to soar, run and walk with Isaiah.

I should say there is a trigger warning for this week as I do talk about my little sister Lorraine who died of cot death. It is in reference to the scripture text and I am not emotional.

It is a positive podcast (at least I think so)...

Next week I am at the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and will consider how often to update you all!

Have a lovely week and pray for us all sitting in the Assembly Halls.

Welcome to another edition of the Rev Sarah Shares Podcast. This week is more reflective - ruminating on prayer and institutionally carrying too much of the past into the present and/or future. Along with the usual chat of ministry life. Sometimes story telling and pondering is the way to go!

No podcast next week due to holidays. This one does feel like a two in one though! (not sure if that is a good thing!)

Hope you enjoy.

Hello and welcome back to the RevSarahShares Podcast. A meandering blether today through Holy Week thoughts, work and family drama, where somehow life never quite goes the way you think it should.

However, hopefully it is an encouraging word this week!

Welcome to Good Friday which as you can imagine is paramount in my thinking. Indeed Holy Week has been challenging and gracious to me. I hope you have had time to pray, remember, immerse, feel this week as you travel with Jesus. Easter Sunday is hinted at within here as well because we are people of the resurrection.

Included in the week has been other week but as you can imagine Holy Week has been the focus so perhaps a more preachy one this week! But not apologising...

Be blessed and thank you for all your support.

Love Sarah

Thank you to Pixabay music for intro, exit and Pixabay Music_for_Videos for Easter Resurrection.

Welcome to this week's shorter episode thinking about Holy Communion, getting the message out in more than actions, and the joys of a varied ministry.

And a little insight into family life as well!

Enjoy!

Back with you this week at the end of an incredibly busy month but genuinely happy. Loving it all despite the exhaustion and work levels. Thinking resurrection as I have marked Easter 7 times and written an Easter themed service for Forefaulds on Sunday.

Hope you enjoy the ramblings and are encouraged despite the chaos in the world.

Every blessing

Love Sarah

Hey and welcome to the next episode of Life of a Parish minister. Due to a wee issue I had to take down and reset. Hopefully that has been resolved.

Thinking about the variety of ministry and the kind of minister I want to be. Growing old and maybe wiser. Or is it just all a little much?

Enjoy.

Every blessing
