Dearest friendsWe are now in the season of the year called "Ordinary Time" ... the festival seasons have finished, the linen in the church turn to green, the servers white surplices no longer have frills, the liturgy remains constant ... we are in a long season of continuity until All Saints Day, when we then look forward to Advent.It's remarkable that we might call this "ordinary". For me, the green of the linen reminds me of creation and connection to the earth; the simplicity of the liturgy, repeated week after week, enables me to go deeper into a familiar rhythm; and a sense of continuity can reinforce belonging and relationship.Even more, as we have heard over recent weeks with the arrival of the Holy Spirit, and the reminder of the relationship of all three persons of God, a relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit is anything but ordinary!!And so as we come to the end of Half term for many, and the next break in routine coming with summer holidays, and the next Bank Holiday 3 months away, it's time to find our rhythm and routing. I hope you will find this by coming along to church each week: whether you prefer to come to the same service at 8.30am each week, or whether you come to the variety of services across 10.30, why not begin this weekend by coming along? With information to collect this week about all that's happening in June in our worship, and across the Summer with various events to join in with, as well as being part of a community of the Lord's people gathered around the Lord's table, it's a great Sunday to be at St Martins, and it's anything but ordinary!We look forward to seeing you - you're invited!God blessBecky
