The Communion Table at AFC yesterday afternoon

The audio service for Sunday will receive it's finsihing touches today.  It will be the 14th we've produced in Lockdown, add to that Good Friday's service and the additional 6 Communion Services and our sound engineers have compiled 21 services over recent months.  A big thank you to them!

Yesterday we opened up the Sanctuary at AFC for private prayer and I hope the dozen or so people who attended found it helpful.  It was, for me, thrilling to see the doors open, lights on and candles lit - a moment to savour.  Gradually we long for more moments like these, all taken at the 'speed of love', which means we'll all decide whether or not to join in with corporate prayer and worship in our own time and depending on our own circumstances.  As that emerging integration takes place let's hold each other in prayer and continue to think of ourself as one congregation in different places.

Heather has given us another wonderful Prayer and Reflection - I just love the story she tells about Mother Theresa and prayer!

May you, today and over the weekend, know God's blessing and joy in all you do,

Ian
