Writing a sermon for #MidnightMass & reflecting on what I preached #Advent Sunday & Advent 4: from Bonhoeffer on opening doors to an invitation to sing (Wham & Mary). #Christmas songs might creep into this evening’s sermon!

A sermon from last month: reflecting on words @TheAmandaGorman on the light we see & the #transfiguration the hills we climb/the world we return to, and being the light.

Today we met for #PrayerAtOne #ChurchAtOne #AbideInChrist as part of #wpcu2021
Thinking about the call to follow; the promise of blessing; abiding in love: through lens of Abram & Jesus’ disciples.
Week of prayer for Christian Unity which is resourced by @CTBI images unknown
With so many plans disrupted and changed, struck by this prayer at compline for #ChristmasEve
Stir up your power, O God, and come among us. Heal our wounds, calm our fears & give us peace; though Jesus our Redeemer.

Advent 4 we will reflect on the example of Mary, the God-bearer.
Given @BarnetCouncil’s rates, we won’t gather in church; but we will share in prayer & fellowship.
Look out for our live streamed services this week including tomorrow’s #carolservice

Somewhat belatedly, last week’s reflections: exploring the connotations of “A is for Apple” and deploying our freedom.
Always powerful to use images by artist & friend the late Chris Gollon.

@kirstyborthwick It’s beautiful!
In the course of my PhD I completed two large cross stitches: one last supper, one BVM (which still seem to be on sale given a quick search!).
There was also a period when I read Anna Karenina and War & Peace back to back.
The words will get written.
#Easter John 20.19-end
Doors were locked.
Jesus came, saying:
Peace be with you.
He showed
his hands, his side.
They rejoiced
Jesus said again:
Peace be with you.
As Father sent me,
I send you.
He breathed:
Receive the Holy Spirit.
Forgive sins, they’re forgiven.
