Unity Service 2021 – Abiding With Christ

This week we join with our fellow Christians in and around Burwell for the annual Churches Together in Burwell Unity Service. But this year with a bit of a difference. For obvious reasons we cannot all be in the same building and so instead the service this year is distributed through each church’s usual channels.
The service is led by the Catholic community in Burwell on the theme of Abiding with Christ. With special thanks to the team at St Mary’s for tackling the collating and editing this week.
After the joint service itself, we have also added a further worship time with music this week chosen by Andy.

Year Text 2021

This week we have our Vision Service for 2021. This is traditionally a service where our year text is revealed to the congregation via another wonderful banner that Kath has designed, but this year you will have to use your imaginations. In this year’s service Chris expands on our year text for 2021 and looks forward to how God will use us as a church through the new year.
Karen leads the rest of the service, bringing us an update from CSW, our Mission of the Month for January. Mike chooses the music.

Prayer

Happy New Year! As we enter 2021, Kath looks at an overview of our Advent series on the Prophets of Advent and asks whether we are prepared to do in 2021 what God asks of us, even if it means stepping far outside our comfort zones.Andy leads the rest of the service, giving an explanation of the Christian background to one of the most well-known secular Christmas songs and Pete chooses the music for the worship time.
