All Age Service- this week

2019-04-07T14:11:39+01:00

SUNDAY FOR EVERYONE!
On Sunday (3rd March) the 10am service will be for people of all-ages!
The theme is Psalm 23  The Lord’s my Shepherd
And in case you feel you might be too busy, here’s a revised version for 21st Century living!
 
Psalm 23 for Busy People

The Lord is my Pace Setter, I shall not rush,
He makes me stop and rest for quiet intervals,
He provides me with images of stillness,
Which restore my serenity.
He leads me in ways of efficiency,
through calmness of mind; and his guidance is peace.
Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day,
I will not fret, for his presence is here.
His timelessness, his all-importance will keep me in balance.
He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity,
by anointing my head with his oils of tranquility,
My cup of joyous energy overflows.
Surely harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruit of my hours,
For I shall walk in the pace of my Lord,
and dwell in his house for ever. Toki Miyashina

A Prayer for the Holy Spirit’s Gift of Wisdom

2018-09-17T19:11:53+01:00

O Holy wisdom in part to me I pray;
The gift to see the entire picture with myself in it;
The meaning of the whole and the beauty of the parts;
The perfection of the end and the value of the process;
The contribution of the failures to the fullness of success;
The sharpness of conflict for the enriching of harmony;
The role of destruction in purifying creation;
The glory of dying for the finding of life;
For Christs sake who is both truth and love, Amen

Bishop Oliver Tomkins

A prayer

2018-05-03T08:30:15+01:00

God, our heavenly Father, make, we pray, the door of this church wide enough to welcome all who need human love and fellowship and a father’s care,

but narrow enough to shut out all envy, pride and lack of love.

Partnership Lent Course – Romans For Today

2018-03-30T21:13:47+01:00

 Five reflections during Lent 2018 for the Old Town Partnership of Churches from Wednesday 21st Feb until Wednesday 21st March, Swindon 7.30pm – 9.15pm.Led by the Revd Dr David Wenham.
Romans is arguably the most influential letter the world has ever. The great theologian Karl Barth called it ‘the clearest gospel of all’, but for many readers it is anything but clear. In our time together we will hope to unlock its profound and wonderful teaching, and to see how relevant it is to today’s church and world.

 

If you missed it – Listen again to Week 1. Wed 21st Feb What’s Romans all about, and why it is important to us? (chapters 1 and 15, also a look at chapters 9-11)

If you missed it Listen again to Week 2. Wed 28th Feb What’s wrong with the world? Diagnosing the human problem (chapters 1-3:20)

Week 3. Weds 7th Mar Amazing grace: making sense of the cross (chapters 3:21-5)

If you missed it listen again to Week 4. Weds 14th Mar New life for humanity and all creation (chapters 6-8)

Week 5. Wed 21st Mar Being a Christian in the real world (chapters 12-15)
