-Dear all
A huge thank you, once again, to everyone who took part in the wonderful Summer Garden Party last Saturday. There has been so much lovely feedback, and we are very grateful to Leonora, Gill, Martina and all their volunteers who worked so hard to make the day such a lovely community event. MANY thanks also to Winkworth Kensington, who generously sponsored the event, and enabled us to bring in the indefatigable Action Amanda, B-Better Dance who led the dancing, and the Royal College of Music jazz band. Our gratitude to all of them for their inspiring contributions. We loved worshipping with you in lots of different languages at Pentecost last week, and we really felt that the Holy Spirit was present in our procession and as we left the service with our tea-lights representing the light of Christ in our lives. Photos of all last weeks events, including Confirmation can be found here. A final reminder that this Saturday at 4 pm will be the second of our three lectures on the Nicene Creed, this one given by the Revd Jarel Robinson- Brown. His topic is 'Who on EARTH is Jesus Christ? - an early Church Conundrum', and Fr Evan looks forward to welcoming you there for the lecture and Q & A, followed by tea and cake before Evening Prayer for those who wish to stay. This Sunday we mark the Feast of the Holy Trinity, and think about the mystery which is our one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We look forward to seeing you at one of our services. We are focusing at present on teaching our children and young people that giving for the work of the Church is an important part of our worship as we give thanks for all the good gifts which God has given us. A welcomer will be standing with a collection plate at the door of the school (as used to happen in pre-Covid times), to receive donations from the children – please do think about giving them coins to put in, as this used to be much enjoyed. We will also have a “tappy” card machine for any parents who accompany their children to Sunday School, and so perhaps miss the collection plate taken round at the Offertory. Without your generous giving, we would be unable to buy the bread and wine for Communion, the candles and linen, or indeed, to fund the children’s activities so ably led by Martina. Next Tuesday, we have a tremendous FREE concert by FREE concert by Georgia Symphony Orchestra Chorus, Uzee Brown Society of Choraliers and the London African Gospel Choir, which promises to be exciting and uplifting. I do hope that many of you will be able to set aside the time to support the visiting choirs. Almighty and eternal God, you have revealed yourself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and live and reign in the perfect unity of love: hold us firm in this faith, that we may know you in all your ways and evermore rejoice in your eternal glory, who are three Persons yet one God, now and for ever. Amen. [Common Worship, Times and Season, Trinity Sunday] With my love and prayers Mother Emma 12th June 2025 |
