“Who is like God?”
On St Michael and All Angels, we are reminded that our worship here on earth is joined with heaven’s liturgy.

This Sunday we gather again at the Lord’s table. After a summer when many have been away, it is good to come home, to find our place again, and to remember that our place is already set.

"It's the type of place where you can't help but smile when you see it, because you know you've stumbled upon something really good in the world."

Most of us spend our lives avoiding fire.
But Jesus says “I came to bring fire to the earth.”
Not fire to destroy, but fire to refine; clearing space for truth, justice, and love

Reflection on yesterday's sermon and news here:

Today we celebrated the Feast of the Assumption with a glorious Mass. For the first time in our 900+ year history, every sacred minister, preacher & server was a woman.
As we honoured God’s collaboration with women in the unfolding of salvation, this was made tangible among us.

Been looking for one of these for years. Tried different alternatives - the football rattle was the worst, & the vibraslap the best, if only for its name!
Now to do things 'properly' and place an order for a Crotalus. #niche
