Today at our churches
Today at St Stephen’s Church
Clare Leppard, Authorised Lay Minister or ALM, led a virtual service for Rogationtide. She cleverly used pictures she had taken of places around the church and village to “stop at” and pray for issues relevant to it. We considered the blessings that God provides for us as well as how we have neglected good care of nature.
Rogation Walk
A small group of people walked from St Stephen’s Church to St Leodegar’s Church to join in the Holy Communion service there. We carried the rogation cross with us over the fields.
Today at St Leodegar’s Church
In today’s Holy Communion service, Revd Wyn Jones picked out 2 themes from the readings to highlight God and our relationship with him:
- God is not an unknown god. He is all things to us, the Creator, and he can be known by us. When we share our faith, we start where we are and tell our story of how we know God.
- We are adopted as children of God. What we had before does not count anymore as we have a new family in God. With Pentecost, God fulfilled the promise that we shall not be left on our own.
