Can you talk? Are you a good listener? Would you like to help members of the Polish community in Bunclody improve their English language skills?

We are looking for volunteers to give an hour or two a week of their time to meet with small groups of adults in Bunclody Library.

You don’t need any special teaching skills as training will be given to the volunteers. The meetings can be arranged to suit the volunteers, either mornings, afternoons or evenings.

If you are interested and would like to become involved in this interesting and rewarding project, contact: Patricia Garvin 087 6904775.

Talk to a member of the team and have the different stages of the procedure explained to you. It is always time well spent, as blood donations are always needed.

Floating mulberry trees

Were we to believe some of the Energy drink advertisements - toppling power comes in a can. So if you need to get through that exam, perform at work after a night out, tackle that big project - their product (Red Bull et alia) is your man. Producers will claim improved performance, increased concentration and reaction speed, vigilance, stimulated metabolism. It used to be Coffee for stimulant, and an adrenaline buzz. Now it seems people are happy to pay obscene prices for a dubious result.

So, when the disciples ask ‘Increase our faith’ - it sounds a bit like the 21st Century cry ‘give us the energy boost’. Jesus’ response is to give some advice. The answer isn’t more faith or a souped-up type; it’s simply embracing the faith you have - even if it’s only a little bit. We all know that a mulberry tree does not plant, never mind grow well in the sea - and that’s an understatement. A mustard seed is very small - like our faith. But without our faith, nothing happens. With our faith all things become possible. The disciples wanted more faith, presumably because they had grandiose schemes in mind. Jesus told them that the world can be transformed one person at a time, one mustard seed at a time. There is hope for the broken world. ‘ Fan into a flame the gift God gave you….’
