This Sunday, in our pre-recorded online worship service, we continue to follow the theme of Rhythm of Life as we reflect on how REST is part of our daily life, in the same way that the Bible mentions that God rested on the seventh day, after all of the creative work that he had done. We will have a talk by Jonathan Hall, music, readings (Matthew 11:28-30 and Genesis 2:1-3), prayers and a short Fairtrade video. This service will be available to view on our YouTube channel from 9am on Sunday morning. The service sheet, which can be used in conjunction with this service, is available to view/download here.
For more information about what’s going via St Paul’s this Lent, please visit the What’s On – Lent 2021 page on our website. It’s not too late to join our Lent courses!
Re-opening of the church building
We hope to re-open the church building in time for Palm Sunday on Sunday 28th March. Further details will be announced in due course, so please check back for updates.
Prayer
Compassionate God,
give us simplicity of faith
and a generosity of service
that gives without counting cost.
A life overflowing with Grace
poured out from the One
who gave everything,
that we might show
the power of love
to a broken world,
and share the truth
from a living Word.
Loving God,
give us simplicity of faith,
and a yearning to share it.
Amen.
