Holy Communion (occasionally Morning Prayer) is celebrated at 10.30 am each Sunday.

The readings at this time of year cover Jesus' miracles and teaching. This is where we meet the Jesus of the every day, the Jesus of farmers and fisherman, who told stories of lost sheep, a man beaten up by the roadside, a ponsy landowner, fishers of men, treasure buried in a field, seed sown by the wayside, or, as in today's gospel, where he calls his disciples and sends them out in pairs to preach his gospel amd anoint the sick – an every day world that became a canvas for the Holy Spirit. Here was God, not in far off Jerusalem, but walking every day through the fields, and along the shores, of Galilee.

In our Eucharist today we give thanks for all who are sent out by Christ to serve his people as ministers and missionaries. Particularly we remember Fr Louis as he give thanks for 20 years of priestly ministry and prays for the years to come.

We are a small friendly ZOOM congregation, quite relaxed and we share out the tasks of readings, prayers, etc.

We started the ZOOM service when COVID forced us to close our churches. We then met every Sunday. When the Churches finally reopened at the beginning of 2022, we switched to a monthly service.

You are very welcome to join us next last Tuesday of the month. The service begins at 10.30am and you can join via ZOOM from 10.20am.
