Next week is the first week of the month. That means it's an All-age/alternative worship at Lifestreams.

OK I know what it's like to be a parent; you're thinking, "Oh no, not All-age. I'm not bringing our children to church if there's no crèche or kidzone!"

Well just relax, have a cup of tea or something stronger and leave it with me. Vicki, Angela and I will dream up some fantastic ways to engage the children in prayer activities that will inspire both them and you. So come along to our all-age/alternative worship as Lifestreams. It will be fun.

Working from the practice of gifts in Paul's first-century context, a critical question emerges concerning who is qualified or worthy to receive the gift. Paul's mission to non-Jews broke Jewish ethnic and legal norms. It was the social corollary of his conviction that a divine gift (of Christ) had been given and distributed without qualifying conditions. This conviction represents a highly unsettling perception of the world, at odds with the normal categories of hierarchy, quality and significance. It was capable of creating irregular, socially creative communities. Thus Paul emerges as one of the most subversive thinkers of the ancient world.
