All is Love!

Dear Friends,

Love is at the centre of the Christian faith, and this Sunday, as well as celebrating the Ascension – this Thursday is Ascension Day – we will be focusing on that love once again!

How do we show and grow in love for one another, and how can we show love to the world?

Our scripture readings for this Sunday will be Acts 1:1-11, Revelation 22:12-21, John 17:20-26, and we will be singing the hymns Hail the Day that Sees Him Rise; Blest Be the Tie That Binds; Bind Us Together, Lord; and Love Divine, all Loves Excelling!

Our Advocate and Comforter

Dear Friends,
Over the last couple of weeks, Ratcha has made me watch the entire series of Harry Potter films in order – something I had never done before.  

In the last episode (spoiler alert!) Harry Potter is killed by his arch-enemy, Voldemort, but then comes back from the dead due to his possession of the Resurrection Stone.  JK Rowling, who is a Scottish Episcopalian, has said this is an allegory of the life, death, and resurrection, of Jesus.

However, in the Hogwarts franchise, the final film ends with Harry and his friends sending their own children off to the wizarding school nineteen years later.  This is very different than the story of Jesus where forty days after his resurrection he ascends into heaven.  An event we will mark next Sunday.

In this Sunday’s Gospel reading Jesus promises that although he will go away he will send “another comforter”, the Holy Spirit.  He even says that is why he is going away!  This is what we will explore this Sunday.

Our scripture readings for this Sunday will be Acts 16:9-15, Revelation 21:10, 22-22:5, and John 14:23-29, and we will be singing the hymns Let All the World in Every Corner Sing; Jesu, Jesu, Fill us with Your Love; What shall I do, my God to love; and Christ is made the Sure Foundation!

Father Mark will be preaching again this week!

Dear Friends,
After a wonderfully busy weekend last week – with two ordination services in addition to our usual Sunday service – we return to normal this week!  I shall be down in Bangkok ordaining a deacon to begin a student congregation there, and Mark will be leading worship at All Saints.

Our Gospel reading this week reminds us that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and that we are safe in his arms!  This message of love is the heart of the gospel and we have good news to share!

Our scripture readings for this Sunday will be Acts 9:36-43, Revelation 7:9-17, and John 10:22-30, and we will be singing the hymns Jesus Christ is Risen Today; The Lord’s my shepherd (And I will trust in You alone), 
The Lord’s my shepherd, and The King of love my Shepherd is!
