The church is open daily

Dear all
I hope you are enjoying the winter sunshine, as we move towards the Feast of Candlemas in ten days’ time – the day when traditionally, the lighting of gas street lamps would end for the winter because it was light enough to get home at 5 pm without them! We shall be reviewing our current risk assessments next week, in the light of the ending of Plan B restrictions and will let you know then how things may change going forward. In hope and anticipation that some of the simplified, stripped-down elements of our worship and community activities may be able to be restored before too long, we are asking you to reflect prayerfully on areas in which you feel you may be being called to serve the church and/or its community. While significant change may not happen immediately, we would be very pleased to hear from anyone who would like to offer their gifts and skills in one of the many lay ministries which build up our parish life, so that we are able to celebrate the different ministries as each one is fully revived over the next few months. If you would like simply to volunteer in a more general sense, we would also be delighted to discern with you how your gifts may be put to good use in God’s service. In the meantime, you are always welcome at any of our services, from online Daily Morning Prayer, through the midday Eucharist every day to 5.30 pm Evening Prayer in church, as well as to all our Sunday services. A quick reminder that TONIGHT, Fr Christopher will be preach at the Unity Service held by the Kensington Council of Churches at the Kensington United Reformed Church, Allen Street, W8 6BL at 7 pm. Please email Chris Luxton if you would like to attend , ChrisLFriends@aol.com. We continue to pray for all our brothers and sisters in all branches and denominations of the Christian Church and to give thanks for our ecumenical neighbours. Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your apostles, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you", look not on our sins but on the faith of your Church and grant it the peace and unity of your kingdom, where you are alive and reign with the Father in the Unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever" (Common Worship, Intercessions for Unity) With my love and prayers Mother Emma 20th January 2022 |
