Matt Earwicker Dear all
First, a big thank you for all the kind comments about the services. I’m afraid I couldn’t write back to all of them this week because there were so many and I was on holiday. But I did read them and am very grateful.
Linda has provided this week’s service – another first for us. It’s available as usual in the Online Services section as a Morning Worship service. Or you can download it as usual here.
I look forward to being back with you next week.
Matt
The Easter services are now available to download from the Online Services section.
May you all have a blessed and hope-ful Easter.
Matt
I’m sorry that I won’t be able to sort out a service for tonight to remember the Last Supper. There are plenty of services around which I hope you feel able to make use of.
However, Linda has put together a meditation (download here) which you could use tomorrow either on a walk or in your home, to help us think about the love of God which took Jesus to the cross. It would be great if you could join us in this.
The cross will be up on Cherhill Down between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Please use it to help you reflect, but it is not intended as a gathering point. If it is on or near a walk you would normally make, please do pause and think, but only briefly and by yourselves. Please do not make a special trip to visit it – it does not count as an essential trip. I hope that many of you can see it from near where you are, and that it helps you to know it is there.
With love
Matt (and Linda)
A reminder that services are now available via the “Online Services” page. However, if you prefer to download the video to watch offline, please use the links on this page.
This week there is just one service, but there is a pause partway through, so if you don’t want to stay for communion, please feel free to stop there.
If you would like the full service of Holy Communion, please click here. There is also an order of service to download and print available here, but everything you need is also on the screen.
If you struggle to hear my sermon, you can find a similar text here.
I hope you find something you can use.
With love, Matt
This Sunday coming – 5th April – is Palm Sunday.
Usually on Palm Sunday as you enter the church you would be given a palm cross to wave. That’s not really possible this year, so instead, I’m going to ask you to be creative. If you want to join in, please follow the instructions on this page. You will need a suitably-coloured sheet of paper or card. I’ll also go through the instructions for you on Sunday in case anyone cannot work out what to do.
Then be ready to wave it joyfully on Sunday.
Looking forward to “seeing” you then.
Matt
