Where's the news gone?The Carey web team and site designers decided that to save the amount of work it takes to transfer news stories into the Newsletter, then copy the same stories into the web site, we would change tactics.
Carey News is now available for download from the site - latest copy here, you just need to have Acrobat Reader on your computer to read all the stories, including the ones that don't get to the website due to lack of space, and the pictures that aren't put up online, some in glorious COLOUR!

THE STRONG WORD - Rev. Peter Strong - October 2009
As we consider the first eleven chapters of Genesis at our Bible studies this month, and as some of the ideas appear in our Sunday services, I am sure that our faith will be both tested and strengthened.
What sort of God is it that can start with a clean sheet of paper, or more accurately with a space as big as the universe, and put into that space the creation that we see around us? What sort of God is it that desires to have a relationship not just with the earth and mankind, but with each and every one of us here on the earth? What sort of God is it that these 11 chapters reveal - who really does have the whole world in his hands?
I am sure that you will have seen on TV news bulletins in recent weeks amazing results from the Hubble space telescope in bringing to us the details-previously unknown - of events that take place billions and billions of light years away from us. We are reminded by modern scientists of the sheer vastness of creation and the smallness of the earth, and of man himself. Yet we are made in God’s image, and reflect his character and glory, we are built for heaven, and as scientists have declared only recently, our brains are “hard wired” to believe in and trust in a God.
The early chapters of Genesis remind us of God’s satisfaction with his creation, as he declared it to be “good” as well as being reminded how sin came in to distort and spoil that creation. I do hope we shall be encouraged to get to know better the God who longs to know us better and show more of himself to us. I hope and pray that this autumn season, we shall better appreciate all that he did for us in his Son Jesus Christ who himself longs to be invited into each of our lives to reverse the failures and sin that entered the world at the beginning of time.
Perhaps like me you look upon the moon on a clear night and the light that comes from that “dark” object as it reflects the light of the sun. In the same way, we are called to have a direct sight of our God and his son, so that we too can reflect his love and light into the dark world in which we live, until he returns to be the light of the worldRev. Peter Strong
