Today we think about inner wisdom. Peter talks about our relationship with God, who is all-powerful, mighty and wise ... based on the words of Paul about the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1.18-25). We also hear Jesus refer to himself as a temple, which invites us to explore our own thoughts about being temples of the Holy Spirit (John 2.13-22). So both readings encourage our continued positive self-reflection during Lent.

A service for the beginning of Lent, that invites us not to focus on our failings, but on God's gifts of grace and love which transform our hearts and minds. Music, prayers and beautiful words of acceptance and forgiveness. Before starting the service recording, play the first piece of music.

Today's readings are full of awe and wonder. We think about awe and wonder in our own lives, and whether or not we have to 'understand' everything - or can we travel with a sense of mystery? What do we think Jesus expects in this regard?

Today we thought about Jesus' first 100 days - not the empty words of a manifesto, but rather his loving action that clearly displayed his priorities to those around him. Recognising the power of God and his choice to display that as love, we considered the question 'We have such POWER in God's name - how do we make sure our priorities are his priorities of LOVE?'

A Service of the Word led by Peter with a lovely reflection from him on Jesus' first miracle. Sadly the recording got interrupted so you'll hear the announcement of the first song, then the end of the Absolution and Collect and then the service continues as on the service sheet.

A service celebrating the joy of the visit of the wise men to the infant Jesus. A audio recording of the service which was held over Zoom only.

On a day that is much quieter than many of us anticipated or wanted, we reflect on the peace of the manger, to see if we can find anything helpful in the stillness.

A very timely Christingle Service - reminding us that Jesus is the Light of the World, and that light shines, no matter how dark the world gets. Involving both physical and Zoom congregation in discussion, this service turned out to be a joy!

A traditional Service of Nine Readings and Carols with both physical and Zoom congregations. The place of each carol is marked in the video. Click on the carol below to listen and then click back on the video (the arrow) to continue the service.

Peter leads the service, relating the great Candelmas theme of hope to a great theme of Epiphany - redemption. Using the first verses of Isaiah 43 he reflects particularly on being between a rock and a hard place. A printout of his sermon can be downloaded from below because the sound drops out in the recording in a few places.
