Fifth Sunday of Easter
Welcome to today’s worship:
10.00 a.m. Holy Communion (Christ Church)
10.00 a.m. Holy Communion (St. Augustin’s)
No evening services at Christ Church or St. Augustin’s
If you are not confirmed you are welcome to come to receive a blessing the altar rail, please.
NB Wafers should not be dipped into the chalice. Gluten-free wafers are available – please let us know (ideally before the service) if you require these.
Plants in our gardens are beginning to sprout – despite the amount of rain we have had recently – however, if roses, say, are left to themselves they will get straggly and tangled and grow in on itself. So we prune it to stop it from wasting its energy and being unproductive. If we try to focus on too many things we end up not being true to ourselves, therefore if we concentrate on our ‘God given gifts’ God’s love will grow and flourish in our community.
O God, in whom nothing can live but it lives in love, grant us the spirit of love, which does not want to be rewarded, honoured, or esteemed, but only to become the blessing and happiness of all who need it, this we pray in your name, for you yourself are Love, in time and eternity. (After William Law 1686-1761)
