Good evening everyone. I hope you have had a fruitful day and can find some blessings that you can reflect on as we prepare for the night ahead. I have chosen a passage from St Luke this evening.

Good morning, everyone. I hope you had a restful night. I have chosen this morning’s Bible passage to reflect the fact that, although we cannot meet together in one place, nevertheless we are able to join together in our common faith and common concerns. I also wanted to remember that Friday is the day when we...
