Sunday 17th January - 2nd Sunday of epiphany
Good Morning & welcome all to our online Sunday Gathering
This morning’s service will be lead by Dru, with music, readings & prayers and the talk from Alex, all streamed Live on Facebook at 10:30am.
Our bible readings for today are 1 Samuel 3.1-20 and Revelation 5.1-10
You will be able to follow the entire service on the screen. A copy of this liturgy is also available if you click the below link.
If you are watching alone or missing seeing people from church, is there someone you can make contact with to see if they fancy joining you for a chat on WhatsApp / Zoom / Facetime or the telephone after the Live Stream service? Grab a coffee and have a catch up much like you would in church on a Sunday morning. If you are not sure who you could make contact with please speak to Vicar Lee or one of the churchwardens (Dave, Jeanette, Maria or Alan) and we will see what we can arrange for you.
***UPDATE: a recording of the service has now been added below***

personal prayer time
During this return to lockdown we are revisiting a few daily devotional resources that can help with a daily or regular time of prayer or reflection. Here is another resource that you may like to explore in the coming weeks.
Pray As You Go is a daily prayer session, designed to go with you wherever you go, to help you pray whenever you find time, but particularly whilst travelling to and from work, study, etc.
It is available from their website or as an app.
A new prayer session is produced every day of the working week and one session for the weekend. It is not a 'Thought for the Day', a sermon or a bible-study, but rather a framework for your own prayer.
Lasting between ten and thirteen minutes, it combines music, scripture and some questions for reflection.
The aim of these sessions is to help you to:
become more aware of God's presence in your life
listen to and reflect on God's word
grow in your relationship with God
The style of prayer is based on Ignatian Spirituality. It is produced by Jesuit Media Initiatives, with material written by a number of Jesuits, both in Britain and further afield, and other experts in the spirituality of St Ignatius of Loyola. Although the content is different every day, it keeps to the same basic format.
