Our reflection today is led by members of the Leaders of Worship and Local Preachers’ Meeting, with contributions from Julie, Angela, Daphne, Judy, Judith and Alan based on the lectionary readings of Matthew 22:15-22 and 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10.
Tim Baker, the Churches and Volunteers Manager of ‘All We Can’, was ‘booked’ over a year ago to take the Harvest Service at Grove Street.
As the time drew nearer we realised that it wouldn’t be possible to have a physical harvest service. Instead it has been good to liaise with Tim to prepare a service that can be broadcast for the whole Circuit.
The service includes contributions from members at Grove Street, a sermon from Tim, a recording of ‘Come you thankful people come’ specially prepared for ‘All We Can’ and other prayers led by supporters and staff of the charity.
Thanks to Andrew, Jan and Diana for taking part in our service today, which focuses on the words of Jesus: ‘Many who are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.’ Here is a summary of the content of the service along with some pointers for further reflection.
We were due to host the Synod at The Crossing on 12th September. As it is now being held as a virtual meeting on Zoom we were asked to record the Opening Devotions. We put this brief service together using resources from our online worship.
