This evening, I have led and shared with folk in Pett in a candlelit Taize Service. It was an amazing, peaceful time. The silence at the end of worship was very special and we all felt close to God. Several people had been invited who hadn't been to church for a long time. I hope they got something out of it.
I ended the service with "nothing can trouble you, nothing can frighten you" and said that I believe incarnation is about knowing in the end all will be well. God enters every state and can transform it from within. Thank you Pett friends for two services where I as the minister have been encouraged today.
God of light, shine in the darkness of our lives.
God of peace, come into the strife of our lives.
God of hope, come into the doubt we feel when things feel difficult.
God of surprises, come and startle as we begin a new working week tomorrow.
God who is everywhere, be with us, always. Amen.
