Worship
at Home – Sunday 24th January 2021
Introduction
This is the Sunday in the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. This year’s theme is ‘Abiding in Christ.’ Under the current circumstances, one definition of ‘Abide’ seems particularly pertinent: to abide is ‘to hold on in there.’ In this service we will explore what it means to spot (or even make) opportunities even when circumstances seem to be helpless or hopeless. In the reflection, the question, “What are the opportunities offered to us as God’s people?” will be considered using some of the thoughts and ideas from The Methodist Way of Life.
Next week, (31st) for our Zoom worship, we will join with the group of churches under Revd. Lorna Valentine’s care for a ‘Bring and Share’ service. We are invited to bring along our contributions of poetry, readings, prayers or songs to join together in a home-grown service. (More details in next week’s worship at home sheet)
