Miraculous Provision! 

Dear Friends,

This Sunday we journey with Abraham to Mount Moriah, where faith is tested in the most extraordinary way — and where God provides. Paul reminds us in Romans that grace, not sin, has the final word in our lives. And Jesus, in Matthew, tells us that even the smallest act of welcome carries eternal significance.

What does it mean to trust God even when the path ahead is unclear? Join us this Sunday at 10:30 AM as we reflect on faith, provision, and the quiet power of welcome.

The readings for June 28 will be from Genesis 22:1-14, Romans 6:12-23, and Matthew 10:40-42, and we will be singing the hymns The God of Abraham Praise, Dear Lord and Father of Mankind, Christ Is the World’s Light, and Go Forth and Tell.

Living at the Vicarage?


Large sunny bedroom


Big Ensuite Bathroom


Own sitting area!

Tired of living alone? 

As you may know, Ratcha is going to Paris to study for two years, and that will leave only two of us living in the vicarage. It’s a big place, so we would like a third person to be able to share. We have a large room available with its own bathroom and a private living room area outside.  You’d also be able to use all the rest of the house as well and the garden.

If you’re interested, speak to Father Iain.

Hagar is heard by God

Dear Friends,

This Sunday we sit with Hagar — cast out, afraid, and alone in the wilderness — and discover that she is not forgotten. Romans calls us to reckon with what it means to die to one old life and rise into a new one. And Jesus, in Matthew, speaks hard words about the cost of following him and the surprising freedom that comes with it.

Who are the ones our world overlooks? And what does it mean to truly rise? Join us this Sunday at 10:30 AM for what promises to be a moving and challenging morning together.

The readings for June 21 will be from Genesis 21:8-21, Romans 6:1-11, and Matthew 10:24-39, and we will be singing the hymns Praise with Joy the World’s Creator, God of the Women, Rise Up Women, and Christ Be Our Light.

Still on Sabbatical – but back from England

Me, my brother Stephen, and Helga the Hymer Motorhome

Dear All,

I’d just like to say thank you to the people at All Saints for giving me the chance to have a sabbatical. The first one I’ve had in twelve years leading All Saints.  Mark is doing an excellent job for these three months. He is on a full stipend, whereas I have dropped down onto a half stipend for this period. 

My time in England enabled me to buy a motor home, which I’ll be using later in the year with Ratcha and my mum. More importantly it enabled me to reconnect with my brother and spend more time with him than I’ve spent in decades. It was a really good time to renew our relationship. 

Thanks again for this great opportunity.

The readings for Trinity Sunday  will be from Isaiah 40:12-17; 27-31, 2 Corinthians 13:11-13, and Matthew 28:16-20, and we will be singing the hymns Holly, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!, Mothering God, Father, We Love You, Tell Out My Soul.

The Fire of Pentacost

Dear Friends,

Last week Paddy exhorted us: “…a man with his hands raised in blessing, rising into heaven, while his disciples watch. And then — great joy. And then — back to the temple, praising God.’  After the miracle of resurrection, then the astounding ascension, what could possibly come next?  

Join us as Pentacost explodes upon the scene!  Let us examine the scriptures together this Sunday at 10:30 AM.  

The readings for Pentacost will be from Acts 2:1-21, I Corinthians 12:3-13, and John 20:19-23, and we will be singing the hymns Come Down O Love Divine, Spirit of God, Unseen As The Wind, O Breath of Life, O God of Burning, Cleansing Flame.

Going Up?

Dear Friends,

In Luke’s account in both the Gospel passage this week and his first chapter of Acts, we have the incredible story of Jesus ascending to heaven.  
Did Jesus really ascend to heaven in front of the disciples?  What does it mean for us to have a Risen and Ascended Lord of All?  Let us examine the scriptures together this Sunday at 10:30 AM.  

The readings for Ascension Sunday will be from Acts 1:1-11, Ephesians 1:15-23, and Luke 24:44-53, and we will be singing the hymns Hail The Day That Sees Him Rise, To God Be The Glory, King of Kings, Majesty, Love Divine, All Loves Excelling.

Father Iain in the United Kingdom 

From Father Iain:

As many of you will know, my partner, Ratcha, has been offered a place to study French at the Sorbonne, beginning in August. The cheapest way for me to spend some time with her and to travel around is to buy a camper van in Europe. I am doing this, and so last week I travelled to the UK. I shall be back in time for Chiang Mai Pride on the 24th of May. 

As you may appreciate, all the planning has taken a lot of my bandwidth over the last week, so I apologise if I haven’t been able to get back to you. I’ll try and catch up with emails and paperwork while I’m away.

My mum will not be coming this time, so please take care of her while I’m away.

Look forward to seeing you when I return.  Please pray that it all goes well and works out for the best.

Dear Friends,

The New Testament passage from 1 Peter 2 this week teaches us that Jesus is the chief cornerstone on which to build our lives.  Somehow, through knowing and following Jesus, we are transformed into living stones.

What does this process of transformation look like in your life?  Join us this Sunday as we explore more deeply these themes of foundation and aliveness expressed in the following scriptures.  

The readings for the Fifth Sunday of Easter will be from Acts 6:1-7, 1 Peter 2:4-9, and John 14:1-12, and we will be singing the hymns Alleluia! Sing To Jesus!, Christ, Be Our Light, Called As Partners in Christ’s Service, Let Us Build A House.

Dear Friends,

The Gospel reading this Sunday comes from John, an eye witness to Jesus’ life and ministry.  John quotes Jesus in explaining that the sheep belonging to him will listen to his voice.  And there will be other competing voices vying for our attention.  

How can we tune into Jesus’ voice so that we can receive the abundant good things he has for us?  What other voices are vying for your time and attention in 2026?

Montha Than Waterfall

Dear Friends,

Last Saturday transACTIONrefuge went on a hike.  Nine of us drove up to the Montha Than Waterfall and went on a short hike – ending up at the waterfall where the bravest went for a swim.  The waterfall was the highlight of the walk and everyone was happy to see it!  Why?  Because water gives life!  Just contrast the bare desert mountains of the Middle East with the lush green mountains of Thailand to see this truth!

In this week’s Gospel reading, Jesus encounters a woman at an ancient Samarian well.  He offers her “living water”.  That is what the Christian life is all about: the opportunity to be continually filled with living water!  Sometimes we feel dry and barren too, but that water is available if we just allow God to open the flood gates!

The readings for the Third Sunday of Lent will be from Exodus 17:1-7, Romans 5:1-11, and John 4:5-26, 39-42, and we will be singing the hymns Immortal, Invisible, God only Wise; Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing; In the Morning when I Rise; and In Christ alone my hope is Found!

News from Christa and Mark!



Please pray for Mark and Christa at this time!  This is the latest news on their situation:

Christa writes:

A quick update on our visa process.

This morning, Mark received his visa approval — which we are incredibly grateful for.

I am still waiting on one final document before I can submit my own application. As soon as it arrives, we’ll move forward with the next step. Please keep us in mind and in your prayers as we wait for the document to come through. We’re hoping it arrives quickly and without complication so we can return to Thailand soon.

Thank you again for making this process possible. Your generosity has allowed us to take these steps with peace instead of panic.

We’re hopeful and trusting that the remaining pieces will fall into place.
We’ll keep you posted.

The Kingdom of God – God’s people worshipping together!

Dear Friends,

This week we continue our observance of Lent as we look at the story of Nicodemus who came to Jesus with compliments.  Jesus responded “Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.”

What does it mean to see God’s kingdom, and even more to enter it?

The readings for the Second Sunday of Lent will be from Genesis 12:1-4, Romans 4:1-5, 13-17, and John 3:1-17, and we will be singing the hymns The God of Abraham Praise; O Jesus, I have Promised; Let us Break Bread Together; and What a Friend We Have in Jesus!

Help for Christa and Mark!



Please pray for Mark and Christa at this time!  This is the latest news on their situation:

Christa writes:

We did it.

Because of you, our $10,000 goal has been fully funded—and exceeded.
We cannot adequately express our gratitude. Your generosity enables us to move forward in seeking permission to return to Thailand.
But your support means even more than that.  Mark shares how:

“Yesterday, a mother called me asking for help relocating to safety. She is a refugee fleeing war and sexual violence, now also surviving domestic abuse and abandonment. She has nothing except two small children — one of whom is sick and requires ongoing medical care.

On the worst day of her life, I was able to be present, listen carefully, and help her begin to see options again. And because of your financial support and prayers, you were there for her too.

It was as if she walked into a room full of caring, capable people from around the world asking, ‘How can we help?’

Love is the most powerful force in the universe. Through your kindness, more love has entered her story.”

On a personal level, Mark’s mom recently suffered a massive stroke after weeks of hospitalization for a broken hip. His 81-year-old father cannot live independently without her. Being able to return and care for them during this season matters deeply to us.

Please continue to pray for our visas to be approved, for this refugee mother and her children, and for Mark’s parents.

Your presence with us in this season means more than we can say.

This campaign officially closes tonight. We will share final totals once all gifts have been processed.    If you feel led to support our ongoing care of people like this refugee mother, the giving links will remain open. But please know: the visa goal has been met and exceeded.

Thank you for standing with us.
