@OSacrumCorIesu For some years we have had a slot in our service we call 'verse of the month'. It's a verse, usually from one of the readings in the month, and the whole congregation, recites, memorises and attempts retrieval over the month. New verse each month. People like it!
Back at my curacy church, celebrating Alastair Thom's *28 years* as vicar.
I'm not sure we affirm enough the value of such longevity of service. It's not for everyone, but it was so moving to hear the tributes to him and Judith.
Let's celebrate such "ordinary" local churches!
I knew Tikquaan from when he was a little boy. His family, the local community and I are utterly devastated by his murder. Those who carried out this killing must be brought to justice but we must all now redouble our commitment to ending this intolerable street violence.
More than 25 years of close diocesan partnership between the Bishops of London and Berlin.

No matter how Christmas is finding you this year, church is the place for you. Join us over the next couple of days for two different services - both remembering Emmanuel: God with us.
We’re on hour 21 of our 24 knitathon! Over 55 squares have been knitted so far. We are making a blanket to give to someone moving out of hostel accommodation and into their first home, and also asking for sponsorship to raise money for Camden Psychotherapy Unit
This weekend people from St Luke’s will be doing a 24 hour knitathon to raise money for Camden Psychotherapy Unit which gives free therapy to those who can’t afford it. Please consider sponsoring us! https://t.co/YNAQhVexHJ
On Saturday evening we celebrated our vicar Alastair having been in the parish 25 years! He was given a silver ‘long service’ medal 🏅 and his very own blue plaque! @alastairthom @dioceseoflondon@area_two
This week marked the 25th anniversary of our Vicar @AlastairThom1 being licensed to serve in this parish! @dioceseoflondon@area_two Here’s a then and now picture:
This is happening soon! Thanks be to God, as well as @AlastairThom1 and @StLukesWestKilb (the best TI and church a curate could ask for) for helping me to not only survive but thrive during this past year as a deacon. Prayers and good vibes welcome. @dioceseoflondon@area_two
Hey @Deliveroo , it's great that you deliver at 1.15am but here's a policy idea. Instead of ringing the doorbell after say 10pm why not just message the person to say you're outside like an @Uber . That way you avoid wakingthe dog and whole house when you ring the wrong bell.
Happy Easter!!! No matter how dark things are or feel, there is always hope. Christians believe this because Jesus rose from the dead - proving that death, pain, violence, human brokenness and evil does not have more power than the love of God. 🌼🌺🌻🌸
