The Beginning


In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said,"Let there be light," and there was light.


(Genesis Chapter 1)

Greetings! 

  

As the profiling initiative expands we are receiving requests for some very interesting articles. Currently we are looking for ministers who feel they could write on aspects of spirituality and the menopause. It is a fairly open remit with all aspects of ministers work considered. Any minister who feels drawn to this please contact Deirdre-Maria Brannigan for full details. 

 

With blessings to you from Deirdre-Maria, and on behalf of all the staff team
