Trinity Sunday 2026

When I first read the gospel reading for this morning, I was a bit confused. It felt like we had gone back in time a bit. We’ve just completed the Easter season, with it’s culmination in the Ascension of Jesus and the sending of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and now we’re back on the […]

Abundant Life

I wonder if you’ve ever had the experience of walking into a room when two people are having a conversation and you don’t really understand what they’re talking about. Perhaps you can work it out after listening them for a few minutes, or maybe they fill you in on the background. In this morning’s readings […]

Love like this

I wonder if you’re the kind of person who likes word play and puns. Do you groan at them, or delight in them, or a bit of both? Perhaps the gold standard, the prime example of this is the Two Ronnies “Four Candles” sketch. A customer and shopkeeper in a dance of mutual incomprehension that […]

Clothed

On Thursday of this past week I had a lovely surprise. I’d gone into the parish office to do some errands and catch up with team and I found a parcel in my in tray. It was quite a bulky parcel but didn’t weigh very much. I was intrigued, as I didn’t remember ordering anything […]

Tales of Two Farmers

This morning’s Bible readings introduced us to two farmers, which is quite fitting for a Harvest service. The first of our two farmers is a man called Amos. Now, from what we heard this morning it’s not obvious that Amos was a farmer, but if we go back to the beginning of the book of […]

Dinner

I wonder if you have ever played the game in which you pick your five fantasy dinner party guests. If you could invite anyone from history or around the world, who would you pick? There are at least two radio shows based around this idea, one of which, “My dream dinner party” actually creates the […]

The Choice

Does anyone remember a Radio 4 programme called the The Choice? I think it was last broadcast about 15 years ago, though a few episodes are still available to listen to online. Michael Buerk talked with people about how they made life altering decisions, and what the consequences of those decisions were. Many of them […]

Messiah?

This week we have been remembering and celebrating VE Day. In the Spring and Summer months of 1945 countless men and women were coming home from the war to be reunited with their families. I wonder if amongst all those children, excited at the prospect of seeing their fathers for the first time in 3,4,5 […]

Others and Mothers

I’ve found my self thinking and talking about this passage from Luke’s historical account of Jesus’ life and ministry a lot recently. It was the passage that had been set for Wednesday lunchtime communion last week at All Saints, and so I spoke on it at the care home communions that I went to as […]

Blessings?

This morning we meet Jesus on a journey between two places. Our reading from Luke’s historical account of Jesus’ life and ministry began, “And he came down with them.” Which prompts the questions. Where did he come down from and who is “them”? To find the answers to these questions we need to look back […]
