This Sunday’s reading from the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 4.32–35) paints a beautiful picture of the early church. All the believers worked together for the common good and supported the apostles in their preaching of the gospel. This was not an easy time for the church. In the passage before this one, Peter and John had been arrested for teaching about Jesus. Yet the apostles refused to be silenced. They remembered the words of Psalm 2, where God defended his anointed against the rulers of the earth. This encouraged the early church to continue to live as a loving and supportive community and to tell everyone about Jesus.

 

Although we know that it was not long before disagreements spoilt the harmony in the church, this picture of a community remains one that we can aspire to. Being grounded in scripture, caring for and supporting one another and telling those we meet about Jesus are at the heart of what it means to be the Church. As church communities, we need to look for ways we can get closer to this pattern, which Luke presents in Acts.

 

This Sunday, we have our usual services for the first Sunday of the month. There is creative church in the morning at St Mary’s and Holy Communion at All Saints. There is also Evensong in the evening at St Mary’s.

10.00 am – St Mary’s – Creative Church

10.30 am – All Saints – Holy Communion with Junior Church

6.30 pm – St Mary’s – Evensong

We have our usual weekday services with Celtic Morning Prayer on Wednesday at All Saints and Holy Communion on Thursday at St Mary’s. Next Sunday follows our usual pattern for the second Sunday of the month. There is Holy Communion at 8.00 am at All Saints and 10.00 am at St Mary’s. The 10.30 am service at All Saints will be Messy/Muddy Church.

 

Wednesday 10^th – 9.00 am – All Saints – Celtic Morning Prayer

Thursday 11^th – 10.00 am – St Mary’s – Holy Communion

Sunday 14^th

8.00 am – All Saints – Holy Communion (said)

10.00 am – St Mary’s – Holy Communion

As we continue to celebrate the resurrection over the weeks of the Easter season, let us pray for Christ to open our hearts to follow him using the words of the collect for Sunday.

 

Risen Christ,

for whom no door is locked, no entrance barred:

open the doors of our hearts,

that we may seek the good of others

and walk the joyful road of sacrifice and peace,

to the praise of God the Father.

Yours in Christ

 

Mark

This Holy Week we have walked, prayed, sung and reenacted together the journey of Jesus from Palm Sunday to Good Friday. This weekend we celebrate the Risen Jesus in our Easter Celebrations. It is through our Easter Faith, that we come to know the love of God and the hope for the world. It is in the Easter faith that our sorrows are turned to joy. It is in the Easter Faith that we believe God conquered death and brought us all to resurrection life. It is a promise outpoured for the world, and a truth on which we come to depend and understand our lives. The empty tomb declares that “He is Risen”. Mary meeting Jesus in the garden reminds us that we are all known by name. As we celebrate this weekend together, may we be reassured, strengthened and brought hope so that we might also live that new life in Christ.

Join us at All Saints and St Marys for our services this weekend to celebrate.

It hardly seems possible that the reflective time of Lent has reached its climactic destination in the drama of Holy Week. The early occurrence of Lent this year has created a rapidity that has felt like a rush from Christmas and its culmination in Epiphany to the start of Lent. The contrast is pronounced, yet the periods of Advent and Lent are both times of reflection, prayer, study. But the contrast in nature is profound.

Advent is an oasis  of calm within the whirlwind of the lead up to Christmas. It is  a counter to the pressures that the world exerts at the time. Lent, however, defines the approach to Easter. It’s  a time of sombreness as opposed to the energised anticipation of Advent. Its shadow is present in the world with the practices of giving things up for Lent, but the approach to Easter in the world  is only marked by the appearance of Easter eggs and hot cross buns on the supermarket shelves.

But for us that Lenten process has prepared the way for the dramatic unfolding of Holy week, starting with Palm Sunday and its symbolic recreation of the palm procession welcoming Jesus into Jerusalem. We stand outside our churches and walk  in procession with songs, remembering that joyful event that was loaded with such meaning and hope. But as we do so we are also mindful of the swift transformation of this, the euphoria that will be replaced with the events that lead up to the crucifixion, the dark time of pain, rejection, misery, and a seemingly crushing defeat. 

But this is far from being the whole story. Whilst this needs to be marked, reflected upon, and experienced in the depth of the pain and suffering that Jesus underwent, it is utterly changed by the events of Easter  Day, the ecstatic joy of the resurrection and the fulfilment beyond all expectations of the salvific mission of the love of God embodied through the life and person of Jesus.

I encourage you to experience the richness of Holy week. There are a variety of services and opportunities to come together as a worshipping community that offer times to worship, reflect and rejoice.

This Sunday, we turn away from the joyful thanksgiving of Mothering Sunday and towards the events of Holy Week. The season is often referred to as Passiontide, from the Latin passio, meaning suffering. It is a time to reflect on Jesus’ arrest, trial, crucifixion, and death. In the early church, many Christians struggled with the idea that an almighty and perfect God could suffer and die in the way that Jesus did. Yet through the debates and discussions that followed, the church fathers came to the realization that perfection is not about standing aloof from the sufferings of the world. Jesus was born into the world to be with humanity and to identify with us in our joy and our sorrow. It is when we remember Christ’s suffering, that we know we are not alone in anything that we go through. God can understand our fears and temptations, recognize our pains and our sufferings, because, in Christ, he has been there before us. He has led the way and can lead us through the worst that the world can throw at us.

This Sunday, we have several services, where we can reflect further on this. In the morning there are services of Holy Communion at both St Mary’s at 10.00 and All Saints at 10.30. In the evening, there is a service of readings and music for Passiontide at St Mary’s. This gives the following services for this Sunday:

10.00 am	St Mary’s	Holy Communion
10.30 am	All Saints	Holy Communion
6.30 pm	St Mary’s	Music and readings for Passiontide

This week we have our normal weekday services with Celtic Morning Prayer at All Saints on Wednesday and Holy Communion at St Mary’s on Thursday.

Next Sunday, we start Holy Week with our Palm Sunday celebrations. There is Holy Communion at 8.00 am at All Saints and 10.00 am at St Mary’s. The 10.30 service at All Saints will be a Service of the Word with a procession round the local streets and a Palm Sunday drama.

This gives the following services for the coming week:

Wednesday 20th	9.00 am	All Saints	Celtic morning prayer
Thursday 21st	10.00 am	St Mary’s	Holy Communion
Sunday 24th	8.00 am	All Saints	Holy Communion
	10.00 am	St Mary’s	Holy Communion
	10.30 am	All Saints	Service of the Word with procession and drama

As we approach Holy Week led us pray that God will guide us in our reflections on Jesus’ road to Jerusalem and Calvary:

Gracious Father, you gave up your Son out of love for the world: lead us to ponder the mysteries of his passion, that we may know eternal peace through the shedding of our Saviour’s blood, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Yours in Christ

Mark

This Sunday acts as a pivot point in Lent, as we come together for Mothering Sunday in different ways. It is a day that has different depths and meanings for people. It is often a moment of celebration, thanksgiving and joy. It can also be a day tinged in sadness. For many it holds both these things simultaneously. The gospel reading might seem odd at first, as Jesus speaks from the Cross. Jesus invites his friend John and his mother Mary to be each other’s family. To reach across to each other in their grief and sadness and find the love and cherishing that is needed at that moment. It is a breaking and a remaking. It is a despite all odds a life-giving moment. What does it mean to be a family? That is a question that Jesus is often asking us. Who is my mother and my sister and my brother? 

As we come together in different ways to celebrate being the family of God may we hold each other in all of these moments and know that we are loved and cherished by God and each other.

This Sunday we have:

8am – Holy Communion – All Saints

10am – All Age Communion – St Mary’s

10.30am – All Age Mothering Sunday Service with Activities for Children  – All Saints

7.15pm – Generations Youth 11+  – St Mary’s

As we hit a half-way point in Lent we are asked to consider some words from St Paul’s letter to the Church in Corinth. Corinth’s emerging Christian Community was a diverse group of people, who with different backgrounds and experiences tried to live together, learn together and pray together. There were times when that was really challenging. Yet Paul reminded them that the way of Jesus was one that was founded on the challenge of the cross. A place of death, of failure, of seeming end. He named it “foolish”. It was not a message that had neat answers, or clever words. It was not a place that relied on success and power. It’s very power was in its willingness to offer a different way of seeing the world. A different way of being. One that required love and sacrifice. One that turned power and status on its head. One that told people that everyone was worthy and equal in the eyes of God who knew the brutal way of the world, and of calvary. I have always found those words the “foolishness of the cross” steady companions at different times in life and especially in Lent. They allow me to be grateful that God was humble, gracious, human and welcomed folly. That the road to resurrection and new life did not hide or flinch from death – but embraced it for the sake of all people. 

In that way we continue our reflections and worship together in Lent in the following ways this weekend.

Revd Lizzie

As we come to the second Sunday in Lent our texts this week centre on the very Lenten theme of the promise and the cost of faith. Abraham receives a covenant-a promise-that will utterly transform his life and that of his wife, family and descendants. The transformation is so radical that it even changes their names. The promise is huge-that from him and Sarai there will be numberless descendants. And the promise made to them by God is everlasting, unending.

Yet as we reflect on this in this Lenten period that is of necessity shaped by world events, how do we view this? What we need to see is the promise of God that is everlasting and the faithful response from Abraham, and this is the theme that links the texts.

The letter to the Romans emphasises Abraham’s faith which is counted as righteousness. It is not the obeying of the law that has done this, even though that in itself served a purpose, but that purpose has been fulfilled in the divine person of Jesus Christ.

The promise of God reaches its fulfilment in Jesus, but Jesus himself makes it very clear that following him is costly. His message in Mark is clear and uncompromising. Peter, in his enthusiasm and his love of his friend and leader, does his usual thing and leaps in to promise that what Jesus has prophesied will not happen, earning. the sharp rebuke ‘get behind me Satan’. This seems excessive perhaps but Jesus here is focused on what must come, the reason he incarnated at that time and in that place. He warns that those who seek an easier way of life, those who may be sympathetic to him but cannot-or will not-make the sacrifices to truly serve him will lose everything, whilst in a customarily Christ-style paradox, those who have given up everything for him will gain everything. Once again, the eternal promises of God are given, this time through God’s Son-Jesus. 

The text from Mark is a firm reminder that Jesus had a purpose-a divine one- and that when needed he was firm. He was still the manifestation of Godly love, but this is tempered with a developed sense of divine purpose that also links in with his humanity and all its complexities. He is firm, he is challenging, he rebukes, but all is done out of love, a love of God and humanity that wants to see the chain of divine promise that started with the covenant between Abraham and God continue into this new covenant that expands the realm of God’s people to include everyone, unlimited by race, geography, gender or any other social construct. An unlimited love which is the very definition of God.

The services and activities for the week ahead.

Rev’d Kester de Oliveira

Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning. 
Rend your hearts and not your clothing.
Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punishing.

(Joel 2.12–

This week we move fully into the season of Lent. Mirroring the time that Jesus spent in the wilderness, the church has traditionally set aside the forty days leading up to Holy Week as a time of reflection and self-discipline in preparation for Easter. There are many traditions that are associated with Lent, but they all centre on the need for repentance, a change of mind and heart that once again focuses our attention on the way of Christ.

To support us in this, in addition to our church services this Lent and Holy week, we are running a Lent Course based on a book by Rose Hudson-Wilkin, the Bishop of Dover. The course has five sessions that reflect on various topics that lead us through the season of Lent towards Easter. The first session reflects on the ideas of identity and belonging and how our views of ourselves and where we fit can influence or constrain what we believe we can do. Matthew 16.13–17 helps us think about Jesus’ question “Who do you say that I am”. The song “Alexander Hamilton” then tells the story of how Hamilton did not feel constrained by his background, even though throughout the musical it is a constant theme. Then Deuteronomy 26.1–11 leads us into the idea of a community identity.

All the session topics are as follows:

Date	Topic	Bible passages	Songs
21st February	Identity and belonging	Matthew 16.13–17 Deuteronomy 26.1–11	Alexander Hamilton My shot
28th February	Ambition and temptation	Mark 10.35–40 Luke 9.46–48 2 Samuel 11.1–15	My Shot Say no to this
6th March	Forgiveness and redemption	Matthew 18.21–35 Genesis 50.15–21	Burn It’s quiet uptown
13th March	Love and sacrifice	John 21.15–19 1 Corinthians 13	You’ll be back Helpless Dear Theodosia
20th March	Hope and courage through adversity	Mark 9.14–29 Luke 23.32–43	Non-stop Who lives, who dies, who tells your story

There will be an afternoon session held in St Mary’s parish rooms from 1.30pm until 3.00pm and an evening session held in the All Saints link from 7.30pm until 9.00pm. If you are thinking of coming, could you please let one of the ministers know, so we have some idea of numbers.

This Sunday is the first Sunday of Lent, and we have the following services:

10.00 am – St Mary’s – Holy Communion with Baptism

10.30 am – All Saints – Holy Communion

In addition to our Lent course, we have our usual mid-week services. Next Sunday is the fourth Sunday of the month, so there will be Café Church at All Saints, where we continue our look at characters from the books of Samuel. Next Sunday we will be looking at Samuel and how God’s idea of a leader is different from ours. This gives the following services for the coming week:

Wednesday 21^st

• 9.00 am -All Saints – Celtic morning prayer
• 1.30 pm – St Mary’s parish rooms – Lent course
• 7.30 pm – All Saints link – Lent course

Thursday 22^nd – 10.00 am – St Mary’s – Holy Communion

Sunday 25^th

• 8.00 am – All Saints – Said Holy Communion
• 10.00 am – St Mary’s – Holy Communion
• 10.30 am – All Saints – Café church

As we enter Lent let us pray for God’s help in the words of this Sunday’s collect:

Heavenly Father,

your Son battled with the powers of darkness,

and grew closer to you in the desert:

help us to use these days to grow in wisdom and prayer

that we may witness to your saving love

in Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Yours in Christ

Mark

 

LOVE IN LENT

This week marks the beginning of Lent. Details of our Lent Courses based on themes drawn from the musical ‘Hamilton’ are included below. Please let the leaders know if you would like to join in from next week (21 Feb). The course book ‘The Room where it Happens’ by Rose Hudson Wilkin is available on Kindle (£3.50) or there are now some copies of the book @ £6.99 available in each church.

This year Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day coincide on 14 February. To begin with this seems like an unhappy collision – and yet, the more you think about it, LOVE is at the heart of both.

Ash Wednesday is a wonderful time to come to church to say sorry while remembering that we are loved everlastingly. Held secure in God’s love, we gain courage to see and admit our faults – maybe even laugh at ourselves. Walking around on Ash Wednesday with the sign of Christ’s cross on our foreheads could make us feel a bit conspicuous. Or, instead, we could wear it with a grin on our face and a glow in our hearts, as we recall how Christ ‘took all my guilt and shame, when he died and rose again’.

That we are lovable despite our brokenness is at the heart of George Herbert’s enduring poem called Love III. The poem encourages those with a tendency to beat themselves up to stop navel-gazing and fix their eyes on the God of Love in Christ who welcomes them to sit and eat with him.

LOVE  by George Herbert ( country parson and poet 1593-1633)

Love bade me welcome; yet my soul drew back,

Guilty of dust and sin.

But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack

From my first entrance in,

Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning

If I lack’d anything.

‘A guest,’ I answer’d, ‘worthy to be here:’

Love said, ‘You shall be he.’

‘I, the unkind, ungrateful? Ah, my dear,

I cannot look on Thee.’

Love took my hand and smiling did reply,

‘Who made the eyes but I?’

‘Truth, Lord; but I have marr’d them: let my shame

Go where it doth deserve.’

‘And know you not,’ says Love, ‘Who bore the blame?’

‘My dear, then I will serve.’

‘You must sit down,’ says Love, ‘and taste my meat.’

So I did sit and eat.

           

Meeting around God’s table brings us into contact with people we may dislike, disagree with or disapprove of.  Yet, we are all forgiven sinners in need of God’s grace. Wherever you are on 14th February, enjoy the Love-Feasts of Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day in equal measure.

Every blessing,  

Diane (curate at All Saints and St.Mary’s Churches Fishponds)

Let there be Light

“Let there be light” is one of the first acts of creation. God creates light in a place where there had been nothing. So the theme and use of light have been wrapped and bound with God, creation and humanity from the beginning. We see this threaded through the Old and New Testament scriptures. There is also a deep resonance and connection to light in daily rituals, living and worship. It is a sign of hope, of possibility, of beginnings and of healing. It connects to us on a level that is beyond words, often being of significance and comfort in times of loss and despair. Lights are also a sign of life and welcome. When entering a town or village as natural light fades, then it is the lights that come from the homes and houses that bids a welcome, a sign of life.

February brings with it the festival and season of Candlemas. The end of Epiphany, and for us this year a (very) short time before Lent. In All Saints and St Marys we have spanned this festival of Candlemas over the two weeks and so continue in this for the coming Sunday. Jesus is brought to the Temple by Mary and Joseph and there he is held by Simeon who makes proclaimations about the child Jesus and what he will be to people. “A Light to Lighten the Gentiles and for the glory of my People Israel”. The light that will bind the nations together. There is a tension in who Jesus is from the very beginning. He will be a figure who attracts both positive and negative reactions. He will bind together and yet also be the source of conflict. He will bring his friends, followers, family and mother both great joy and pain.

Candlemas is a betwixt and between time, and holds these tensions of hope and sorrow together. It has for me always been a significant festival to reflect on and listen to God in.
