If we don’t get going, we won’t get God
On the fifth Sunday of Easter, at our joint service in Stow Longa, we reflect on how we can only see God if we take the time to listen, follow, and act.
Celebrating our heritage, building our future.

At Evensong on the first Sunday of Lent, Revd Philip explores Romans 5 and Matthew 4, helping us have hope in the temptation of life.
This Sunday Philip preached on St John the Baptist’s words in John 1: “Behold, the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”.
In this sermon we explore Holy Communion through the progressing narratives of ancient scripture, and consider how this contrasts with modernity and the modern mind.
We start in Genesis 11:7-8; move through the institution of the Jewish Passover in Exodus 12:3-15; explore Jesus’ own words in John 6:48-58; and land in the way things were in the early church looking at 1 Corinthians 11:27-31.
Enjoy.
Revd Philip explores Isaiah 35, with the prophet finding hope in the grim social and political landscape of Israel around 700 BC. Seems that humanity may well be the same and need the same hope.
Preached at Easton on 11th December 2022.
