So our minds turn to Advent, the period of waiting for the coming Christ, which precedes Christmas. Today is the third weekend before Advent and our focus is on the reason why Jesus came.

In this morning's gospel, from the beginning of St Mark, Jesus gives us his manifesto, what he is basically all about. And there are three things: firstly “The time has come”; secondly “The kingdom of God has come near”; and thirdly “Repent and believe the good news!” It is a very stark claim, in black and white, and it throws Jesus into perfect focus.

But it lands badly with his audience. And perhaps it doesn´t land too well with us either. Do we prefer a God who is a bit more ambiguous, a bit less prcise, a bit more fluffy, perhaps? Is Jesus claiming too much? Is he demanding too much?

And as he calls his first disciples, a group of fishermen, do they know what they are getting into?

Come and join us, as we start our run up to Christmas!

WELCOME TO THE SALINAS ANGLICAN CONGREGATION THIS EASTERTIDE🌾

At Easter, and for the five weeks afterwards, we celebrate the the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

When Jesus died on Good Friday, his disciples scattered - confused, fearful, without direction, without a future. But the absence of a body on Easter Sunday was altogether different. Now they saw Jesus everywhere – in the garden, on the road to Emmaus, as they fished, as they gathered together. And not as some spooky ghost of the past, but as the recognisable presence of the Son of God, risen from the dead. This is what we are celebrating this Eastertide – our God, real, alive, recognisable and present. 

Martin Luther wrote: “Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime”. He has also written that promise on every human heart.

You will find details of our services through Easter to Pentecost here.


Listen to Surrexit Christus, an Easter song from the Taizé Community in France.
