Max Lucado’s latest book Outlive Your Life: You Were Made To Make A Difference invites readers to consider those in our society who are at risk and in need. He calls for people, churches and communities to pursue ‘compassionate living’.

According to an announcement from his publisher, Pastor Max has committed to donating 100% of the royalties for his upcoming book to benefit children and single mothers.

I first heard about reading groups from Helen Cooke some years ago at an Activate conference. Moving to Dorset and trying to meet new friends gave me the opportunity to join a local group. I loved it!! I am now a member of two local groups and I set up a third at my son's school as a way of getting to know other mums better. All the groups meet once every six weeks or so, meaning that I usually have three books on the go at any one time.

I came across this piece recently - the author is unknown. What I found in the message was that the qualities of Christ living in us matter more than anything.

Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours, days.
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.

Saturday night at the last two Activate weekends away in Coventry were hugely succesfull thanks to the talents of singer/songwriter Becky Higg. She blends together a mellow programme of guitar playing, meaningful lyrics, laid back chat and fantastic Katie Melua-like singing.
The Activate group in Wimborne Dorset have booked Becky to come on Saturday 22nd May to a Girls Night Out event. There are spaces for any other Activate supporters and their friends - please contact the Activate web address if you want tickets at £5 each, including drinks and nibbles.
