Today (Thursday, 9 April 2020) we mark the anniversary of the execution of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I first heard of him in 1962…. His writings took me on journeys that I would not have dreamed about. He was a man who found ways of living purposefully without the need of perpetual reassurance and comfort. Through his writings...
by Revd George Mwaura Based on Isaiah 50: 4–9a and Mathew 21: 1–11 While reflecting on the passages before us and the message that I want share with you, in light of the ongoing pandemic, I have been very careful not to trivialize the pandemic, at the same time not allowing it to take control of...
Healing God, as we prepare to worship you in our own homes,
we raise our palms and branches and shout together:
Hosanna to the Son of David!
We draw close to you humbly on this day that caused disturbance and disruption
just like our Lord who came to set us free and to change things for ever.
We too shout with joy: Hosanna to the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna to the King who will surely save us!
Amen

God of new life, we give you thanks and praise today.
As we gather virtually in your name this week, may we know your resurrection power in our lives.
May our spirits be renewed, and our bodies be restored.
Let the same spirit that brought Lazarus out of the grave, and raised you to new life,
dwell in each one of us today and all the days of our lives.
We thank you immensely:
for your constant presence, for holding us and comforting us;
for crying with us when we are hurting; for weeping with us when we are broken-hearted.
Thank you, Lord, that you never let us down, but constantly give us hope.
We are here to give you our praise and thanksgiving from deep within us.
Amen
The Lord who unbinds us Protective God, who gathers us under your wings like a mother hen gathers her chicks, speak to us under the comfort of your wings today and help to bring peace and order to our troubled minds and hearts in Jesus’ name Amen Every year, the Reader’s Digest prints many quite amusing...

Based on Romans 16: 1–16 and Mathew 20: 20–23 Spirit of the living God speak to our anxious hearts and minds and bring us the consolation we so desperately seek in Jesus’ name. Amen Friends, happy Mothering Sunday! It feels odd speaking to you through this medium, but desperate times call for innovative ways of communicating,...
Christ our Lord, you understand perfectly the joys of an earthly home and a mother.
Please accept our gratitude for all the love we have received in our homes
and especially from our mothers who gave birth to us and nurtured us.
Hear our prayers for mothers everywhere, that they may never lose heart
nor ever be taken for granted, but receive from their children
the honour and love you showed to your mother, Mary, even as you suffered on the cross.
Amen
O Lord, you found faith in unexpected people
and those scorned by the religious people of your time.
Help us to live in your church so close to those outside it,
that we may know and share true faith across borders.
Amen
As we gather in this sanctuary this morning,
let our hearts rejoice in the promise of eternal life.
Let us approach the throne of divine mercy to worship the living and loving God
as our ancestors have faithfully worshipped: in truth and in spirit.
And let us give thanks for everything today and all the days of our lives.
Amen
