This week Chris examines our year text in the context of the time it was written and also continues to look at how we can apply it to our lives in 2021.
Shona leads the rest of the service, with Trevor providing the reading.
Sermons from January 2021
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.
A recording of a live Zoom Communion service held on 17th January 2021. Chris and Lynne lead us through Communion together, whilst we also pray for our NHS workers and Chris begins to expand a little more on our Year Text.
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.
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.
