Holy Communion and Junior Church

for 1 hour, 15 mins
Kidbrooke, St Nicholas
Whetstone Road Kidbrooke London, SE3 8PX, United Kingdom

Holy Communion for the seventeenth Sunday after Trinity: celebrant the Revd Tola Badejo
Junior Church takes place at the same time in the hall.

First reading: James 3. 13 - 4. 3, 7-8a
Gospel: Mark 9: 30-37

Today's readings address the contrast and conflict between good and evil. James explains clearly what kinds of attitudes and behaviour are good or evil; Jesus characteristically uses a powerful visual metaphor, effectively reminding his disciples that the innocence and welfare of children are more important than anyone's status. In the picture above, the Neapolitan artist Mattia Preti turns the Gospel story into an allegory of good and evil by contrasting the illuminated Christ and the child with the shadowy, hooded and red-clothed figure of Judas on the left.
