Seafarers’ Christian Friend Society: 18 men’s bags along with 12 ladies bags have been packaged and are ready to be sent to the sailors. Collection Boxes remain available in both parishes for donations to the bags we prepare for seafarers. Thank you to all who contributed to the Lent & Easter Collection for Hygiene Hub.
Readings: The Lectionary gives a choice of readings each week. We normally follow the “related” list in which the Old Testament reading is chosen to link with the Gospel – on that basis, the sermon usually takes the Gospel as a “starting point”! During the next couple of months we will use the alternative “continuous” list from the Lectionary in which we will follow a series of readings from Genesis; conversely, I will focus on the Old Testament in the sermons. Hopefully, we will discover the “God of the Old Testament” is actually the same God revealed in Jesus, although we may find that theological understanding under the guidance of the Holy Spirit develops……..
