Third Sunday in Easter

Hi folks

This Sunday sees the third Sunday in Easter. Unlike the world, which has moved on rapidly from Easter, we continue to celebrate the Easter Resurrection until the Ascension, 40 days later. It is very appropriate that since we spent 40 dys of Lent in preparation for Easter, the season of Easter should continue for the same period - after all, it was the greatest event in human history, ever!!

We continue to remember that great event, gathering in His glorious name, and celebrating that magnificent day of Resurrection, confirming the end of eternal death, once and for all. You'll find the service sheet attached, and I hope you consider joining us - if not physically in church, then virtually online. Either way, you'll find a warm welcome, and hope that you feel like a family member before you leave.

We are trying a slightly different approach to the stream tomorrow - and we hope that it will bring a better sense of belonging to the congregation. Let us know how you find it!

All God's richest blessings to you and your family and friends

Hiroshima Remembrance

Hi folks Today, 6th August 2025, is the 80th anniversary since the United States of America dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Shortly afterwards, they dropped a similar device on another Japanese city of Nagasaki. Between the two events, over 200,000 people died, and Japan surrendered - ending the Second World War. The ripples from these two horrific events are still felt today, and the lessons from them are more relevant in today's world than ever before! Each day we hear about the tensions around the world regarding nations developing nuclear weapons, threatening to release havoc upon the world. Although the weapons are often referred to as deterants, the danger is that the whole world could be effectively ended within minutes if someone decided to release their particular weapon upon an enemy state! I pray that today reminds the world leaders about the absolute devastation that these weapons bring. They do not distinguish between combatants or civilians. ...

August Hymns and Readings

Hi folks Here's the next list for the readings, readers and hymns for our services throughout August. There are five Sundays this month, and in our normal pattern, our fifth Sunday will be a Cafe Church service in the Parish Hall. As ever - this is just a guide, if you need to swap your date - just let someone know. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to read each month, and if you'd like to join the list, please let the church wardens or the Rector know. If we need to do so, both David and the Rector are more than happy to fill in for any given reading!
