In this service, the choir sang Ralph Vaughan Williams' setting for the coronation service of Queen Elizabeth II, 'O Taste and See'. Jonathan Williamson invites us to do the same as he explores the miracle of the Wedding at Cana.

Epiphany is the festival observed on 6 January in the church calendar in commemoration of the coming of the Magi, presented as the first manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles in the Western Christian tradition. This Sunday, the day before Epiphany, we were also to celebrate a baptism, but a heavy downfall of snow prevented it from taking place in the service itself. Michael Bayley preached his sermon ‘virtually’ from home, linking the first reading to the twin themes of epiphany and baptism.

Why? The question that children always ask. Boyd Morgan takes that as his starting point in reflecting on how we learn from, and nurture, one another.

"The word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory"

"Wait...without expectancy, which might focus attention too narrowly, so that we miss the coming. Wait with expectancy, alert, hearts, minds, hands, ears open to receive the gift' (Ann Lewin)

On this Advent Sunday, traditionally known as Gaudate Sunday for its theme of joyful anticipation. Mark Newitt explores how the readings beckon us to be the truly radical change of the God of small things

On this Advent Sunday, the worship focused on human rights, especially the work of Amnesty International. Beth Keith explores how John the Baptist's echo of Isaiah's call from the wilderness to prepare the way of the Lord is an invitation to each of us to be agents of that radical call to liberation from injustice.

This is the last Sunday after Pentecost and the Feast of Christ the king. Beith Keith links the festival with the issues of safeguarding and stewardship.

‘We want communion, a world renewed, we hope against hope. With the God of history we want to make all things new’. We are beginning to look forward to Advent: Maranatha, come Lord, come. The service began with this expression of yearning from Brazilian young people. That links, however, to the theme of we live out our faith, questioning and searching, and Janet Morley picks up on that, continuing our series on stewardship.

For an act of worship dedicated to all those whose life has been touched by conflict, Jonathan Williamson reflects on the relationship between remembrance, stewardship, and calling.
