Tuesday 11 May 2021 Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, It was wonderful to see so many of you this evening for the discussion on Understanding Anglicanism. Thank you again to David, and also to Archana and James for their contributions. It is good for us all share together, to be able to listen to one another and learn from one another. On Thursday we celebrate the Ascension of Christ. There will be a Eucharist in church at 10am. If you would like to attend, please ring or email the office to book a seat, by tomorrow at 11am. The service will also be available online. There will be NO Lectio meeting on Thursday. Those who usually come are encouraged to attend the Ascension Day service instead. I look forward to seeing many of you at church on Sunday. There are still a few seats available, so if you would like to come please contact the office by 11am tomorrow morning. If you are not able to come in person, please do join the online service, which can be found here from Saturday evening. Thank you to Hector, Martin and Art for their hard work in producing these services, week by week. Thy Kingdom Come This is a prayer initiative (now in its 6th year) supported by all the major Christian denominations, which encourages us to pray especially during these days between Ascension (13th May) and Pentecost (23rd May). Christians in over 170 countries are taking part and it is supported by Pope Francis, Archbishop Justin Welby and many others. We are encouraged to pray for familiy members, work colleagues, local communities, and people in need, and to pray especially for those who do not know the love of Christ. Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York, says:
There are a wealth of resources to help us to pray
