In the world we live, individually and corporately in prayer we sometimes become so busy that and worship, with the help of modern we hardly take a moment to pause technology. We are truly thankful for and re-evaluate. A parishioner from the different ways of worshipping one of the Churches I look after made together that have been devised. a remarkable comment one day As a Church in Hartford Hundred during our conversation over the Group, we miss worshipping in our phone, “..we are going to come out of beautiful buildings.

Across the world, physical Church (its literal emptiness) nations are taking drastic measures is a sign of God’s ability to meet us e.g. suspending sports, schools closing, regardless of our locations.

In the course of their May I take this opportunity to conversation, Jesus said to her: encourage individuals, families, the “21Woman, believe me, the hour is isolated, those unwell, the anxious, the coming when you will worship the bereaved and all to remain hopeful Father neither on this mountain nor in and comforted.

Reverend Theresa Musiwacho From the Editor. This is a very different magazine from those at the beginning of the year. There are quite a few gaps due to most of the regular items being irrelevant, but there are also quite a few new items, and they are in full colour! Feedback on this and April’s magazine has been zero. Please let me have any articles, however whimsical. I have left some items in place which are obviously cancelled, just as place holders for when normality returns. Best wishes.

The Day of Pentecost marks fifty days since Easter Day and brings the Easter season to an end. It is a major feast of the Church’s year when Christians recall how God’s Holy Spirit was given to the disciples after Jesus’s ascension, empowering them to begin the work of making disciples of all nations. Pentecost (which comes from the Greek word for ‘fiftieth’) has its roots in the Jewish Feast of Weeks. Jesus had promised his followers that, although they would not see him after his Ascension, they would receive the Holy Spirit to guide and inspire them. The Acts of the Apostles describes how the crowds gathered in Jerusalem – representing many nationalities and speaking many languages – were able to hear the disciples preaching in their own language. 'When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.' Acts 2, Chapter 2, V1-2 The colour most often associated with Pentecost is red, representing the tongues of fire which the Acts of the Apostles describes appearing above the heads of the disciples as a sign that they had received the Holy Spirit. With its focus on God’s Spirit being poured out on believers, Pentecost is one of the most popular days for baptisms and confirmations in the Church’s year. Pentecost is also referred to as Whit Sunday (or Whitsun), especially in the north west, where traditional parades called Whit Walks take place, often featuring brass bands. Traditionally the next day, Whit Monday, was also a public holiday (however since 1971 fixed by statute on the last Monday in May). Many churches set aside the ten days between Ascension (since the late fourth century, on the fortieth day of Easter the Church celebrates Christ's ascension to heaven, this marks the end of his earthly ministry) and Pentecost as a special time of prayer for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Thy Kingdom Come – the global wave of prayer established in 2016 following an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York – has seen millions of Christians across denominations and across the world joining together to pray for more people to come to know Jesus.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2021
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2021 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. The Prayer Diary is updated once a year.

  • Diocese of St Albans
    Going Deeper into God Transforming Communities Making New Disciples leading to Spiritual and Numerical Growth Institution by the Bishop of Hertford The Rt Revd Dr Michael Beasley and Induction and Installation by the Archdeacon of Hertford The Venerable Janet Mackenzie of The Revd Harry Steele as Rector of Therfield with Kelshall on Wednesday 23 September 2020 at 7.30 pm in St Faith’s church, Kelshall Introduction Welcome to this service, which marks both a new sphere of ministry in the life of your new Rector and a new chapter in the worship and life of this parish. It is fitting therefore that we come together with the Bishop and representatives of our partner churches to offer ourselves afresh to God for the work of the Gospel. We approach God most appropriately at the beginning of worship in praise and confession. The new Rector designate is then introduced and presented to the Bishop and people. The Declaration of Assent and the Oaths to the Sovereign and Diocesan Bishop are required by law and give us assurance of the trustworthiness of his ministry. A reading from God’s word to us from the Bible is followed by a sermon, in which the same word is given relevance for this time and place. He then institutes the new Rector by praying together with him to the Holy Spirit and giving him the Cure of Souls. Following the installation of the new Rector, he is welcomed by the community and all are invited to greet one another in the exchange of the Peace.

  • Interim Listings for January to July 2019 The
    Anglican Communion Cycle of Prayer – interim listings for January to July 2019 The Anglican Communion’s Cycle of Prayer is a much-used and highly valued resource throughout the Anglican Communion. It is a means by which Anglicans around the world can pray for all other Anglicans, diocese-by-diocese. The Anglican Communion Office is in the midst of a period of transition with its information technology services and it has not been possible to produce the Prayer Diary for 2019 in the same way that we have done previously. Work is in hand to improve our database and internal systems. Once complete we will be able to produce, once again, the Cycle of Prayer in multiple formats. In the meantime, we hope that this interim listing, which covers the first six months of 2019, will provide you with the means to continue the global cycle of prayer for our Communion and its members.
