Where does understanding dwell? 13 No mortal comprehends its worth;Vit cannot be found in...
Season of Hope and Light The word ‘Advent’ means ‘coming’ or ‘arrival’. This season marks the beginning of the Church’s year and is celebrated on the four Sundays before Christmas.

In the world’s best-loved movie, Julie Andrews said, we start at the beginning,...
This hectic world is quieter for now, holding its breath as the calendar moves on. We hope for fellowship, but prepare for loneliness. Lord, focus our minds on a different preparation; keep us busy in conversation with you. Amen
Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Friday evening’s prayers. The nights really are beginning to draw in now, aren’t they? With the colder temperatures we have felt on some days this week, it seems to me that winter is fast approaching. But that means that Advent draws near too. I remember being told at school that Advent...

Good morning on Wednesday 25 November, a month to go before Christmas. It is, I guess, going to be a different one from any we have had before. We are waiting to find out which tier we will be in after 2 December, and next Sunday we begin Advent. Blessed be the Lord, for he has...
Good evening, friends. Today is the Feast of Christ the King, the climax of the church’s liturgical year. Next week we begin a ‘new year’ as we enter the season of Advent. The Kingship of Christ is powerfully represented in the image of Jesus hanging from the Cross on Good Friday. In the words of St...
