(3593 words)St Matthew – called just as he was
This month we remember Matthew’s call to be an apostle of Jesus and ask what it means for us to follow Christ. Jesus calls us where we are: ‘Jesus saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. ‘Follow me,’ He told him, and Matthew got up and followed Him.’ (Matthew 9:9). It...

Twenty-five years ago, on Tuesday 11th September 2001, terrorist attacks demolished the Twin Towers in New York. They killed 2,996 people and injured more than 6,000. Events like 9/11 raise the inevitable question: Why does God allow such suffering to take place? There are no easy answers to this question! We cannot fully understand why...

Many of us will remember where we were 25 years ago this month, on Tuesday 11th September, when reports began to come in of planes crashing into skyscrapers in New York.

This month we return to looking at Old Testament books. The book of Daniel describes his life in Babylon during the sixth century B.C., when he served both Babylonian and Persian rulers. As a teenager, Daniel and his three friends were deported in 605 B.C. to Babylon, where he lived for over 70 years. They... (287 words)Samuel – the exceptional man who put the crown on David’s head
The Bible contains descriptions of many kinds of leaders. These men (and sometimes women) were responsible for the well-being of groups of people. Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. Joshua led the wilderness wanderers into the Promised Land. Gideon, Ezra and Nehemiah led people to fight against their enemies and improved their moral and... (397 words)Reflected Faith Series – The Peace
Last time we reflected on the time of ‘Intercessions’ within our service. This month, we consider what comes next. In a Common Worship Communion service, the ‘Peace’ comes straight after the Intercessions. There is no such thing with a Book of Common Prayer (BCP) service. A time of sharing ‘The Peace’ is not restricted to... (310 words)The story behind the HYMN: Jesus Thy Blood and Righteousness
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress; Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed, With joy shall I lift up my head. Bold shall I stand in that great day, Cleansed and redeemed, no debt to pay; Fully absolved through these I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame… Jesus,... (452 words)Clothed with Christ
Georg Philip Telemann, the 18th Century German composer, was an early collector of folk music, long before the vogue for collecting folk tunes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which in England drew in Ralph Vaughan Williams, Cecil Sharp and George Butterworth. Telemann would travel to Poland and note down the folk tunes... (434 words)What God won’t ask
God won’t ask what kind of car you drove, He’ll ask how many people you drove who didn’t have transportation. God won’t ask how big your house was, He’ll ask how many people you welcomed into your home. God won’t ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He’ll ask how many you helped... (130 words)
