Fed by Ravens - on how Elijah was given rest and refreshment in the Kerith Valley, and how we too need and can have Kerith experiences.
26-3-25, in All Saints'
Christ in Glory - on depictions of the risen and ascended Christ seated on the throne give an unexpected insight into the human brain.
2-4-25, in St Mary's
The Annunciation - on Mary becoming the first tabernacle for Jesus Christ.
9-4-25, in All Saints'
Life Together - on our shared and mutual love in discipleship, across the benefice, and with reference to certain passages in Dietrich Bonhoeffer's book, Life Together.
This seems a good note to end these talks with but also the 9th April, annually, is the day the church remembers Bonhoeffer's death in 1945.

Palms wave, join in with the procession around the church inside and out (weather permitting), join us for refreshments afterwards
