Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wand’ring bark, Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken. Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle’s compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me prov’d, I never writ, nor no man ever lov’d. February 2017 What’s On in The Heart of Eden this month?

Charitable Giving The Christian service of providing material needs for those less fortunate is different from any other form of humanitarianism. While professional competence by those administering aid is a primary and fundamental requirement, it is not of itself sufficient to be classed as truly humanitarian. Why? When we are dealing with human beings they always need something more than technically proper care. They need humanity. They need heartfelt concern. Those who work for Christian charitable organisations must be distinguished by at’s What’s on? What’s on? What’s on? What’s on? What’s on? What’s on? What’s on? What’s on? Wha the fact that they do not meet merely the needs of the moment, but they dedicate themselves to others with heartfelt h t ’ concern, enabling them to experience the richness of their humanity. In addition to necessary professional training, charity s W o workers also need “formation of the heart”. They need to be led to that encounter with Christ which awakens their love ?

They also must not be inspired by ideologies aimed at improving the world, but should st ? o 1 10:15am St. Peter’s Church, Asby Coffee morning in aid of church funds rather be guided by faith which works through love.

The essential difference of Christian W nd 2 7:30pm St. Lawrence’s church Solemn Eucharist for Candlemas o charity is therefore the personal spiritual dimension, a participation in the love of the Blessed Trinity. ? n n nd ?
