Coronation of King Charles III Yesterday marked a historic moment in the life or our nation. It was a time to reflect on our history and to celebrate something of who we are and to look forward. The coronation was steeped in this country’s traditions and filled with great symbolism. It was essentially a consecration to service. It happened within a Eucharist, the most basic and central act of our Christian worship, it included oaths, regalia and crowing. Through the Eucharist we receive from Jesus the one who comes to us as a servant; the one who is the king of Kings.
King Charles and Queen Camilla will be remembered in our gatherings today and in our prayers. Do join us for a celebratory drink after the 10.45 service if you are able.
Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour: look with favour upon thy servant Charles
our King, and bestow upon him such gifts of wisdom and love that we and
all thy people may live in peace and prosperity and in loving service one to another,
to thine eternal glory; who with the Father and the Holy Spirit
reigns supreme over all things, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
