Sunday Service

This Sunday we’ll reflect with Susan on a weird and wonderful text from the Gospel of Luke (21:25-36).    It says something about being ‘weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life”.  (who ... me?)


We'll also sing a powerful organ hymn with our powerful organ, and we'll celebrate the baptism of a beautiful child, and we'll be led into prayer by the Choir singing A Celtic Blessing. The first verse of that blessing is well known, but do you know the second?


A Celtic Blessing


May the road rise to meet you

may the wind be always at your back

May the sun shine warmly upon your face

and the light of heaven guide your path. 


When the world begins to tremble

when the sand shifts below your feet

may you stand firm on a solid rock

May you find tranquility and peace.



Looking forward to worshipping with you. See you Sunday.
