In the church calendar this Sunday is Trinity Sunday – a week feared by many preacher who has been chastised for erring into heresy whilst trying to explain the mystery of God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Listen to hear how Rev Richard Banham tries to get the balance between staying orthodox and yet making the mystery slightly more accessible.  Click here to join our worship including some beautiful hymns and a particularly stunning anthem.

The news this week has been dominated by the murder of Black American George Floyd at the hands of a white policeman.  As part of our worship we interview 17 year old Lauren who is passionate about equality and ask her what we can do to be part of the solution.  Click this link to view the resource sheet of books, podcasts and films she has compiled so we can begin to educate ourselves further.

In Lockdown we’re discovering that anything adults can do, the kids can do just as well!  Last week we shared the video of The UK Blessing.  Thank you to Louise Edwards for forwarding this version featuring children from the UK, USA, NZ, AUS, SA and many other nations , ‘The Blessing (Kids)’ unites the voices of children to sing these powerful words of scripture over friends, family, cities and our world. Click here to enjoy it.
