A community in Christ seeking and sharing transforming grace, reconciling love and compassionate hope
In Lent, our adult group is working its way through a course based on Henri Nouwen’s book, ‘The Return of the Prodigal”. The first session, on 14th February, we listened to extracts from the chapter entitled “The younger son leaves home.” Nouwen says that “Leaving home is…a denial of the spiritual reality that I belong […]
Just as a reminder, the first adult Lent group, based on Henri Nouwen’s “The Return of the Prodigal Son”, starts on Thursday at our place. Start time is 7:45pm. The Family Lent group starts on Friday evening at 6:30, at St Agnes. The church will be open from 6, to give people time to arrive […]
One aspect of the First Holy Communion class I was leading on Sunday struck me as I was teaching: the slavery of sin. It brought back an element of a retreat I did a few years ago. During this week, I was preparing a Bible Study on Galatians that I was leading a few weeks […]
In the 80s and 90s, if you were young and evangelical there was a chance you followed a band called “Fat and Frantic.” In my opinion, they were the best live band of the time. Jim and Silas had the knack of holding an audience in the palm of their hand and moved from the […]
The Adult group this Lent will be based on Henri Nouwen’s “The Return of the Prodigal Son: A story of homecoming,” published by Darton, Longman and Todd. There will be materials provided at all the group sessions but the book is so good, I suggest that adults intending to do the course might want to […]
Today
Thursday is the Solemnity of St George, Martyr, Patron of England, and Mass will be celebrated according to Divine Worship at 5:45pm at Christ the King Church Langney. We’d love to see you! The pew sheet is available at the link below.
‘Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them!’
The Mass is at an unusual time because it’s followed by our St George’s Celebration, and we look forward to welcoming all who have booked for that.
St George, Martyr, Patron of Engalnd

“Jesus acted as if he were going further, but his disciples urged him strongly, saying, ‘Stay with us, for it is towards evening and the day is now far spent.’ So he went in to stay with them. When he was at table with them, he took the bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened, and they recognised him.”

Tomorrow is the Second Sunday of Easter, and Mass will be celebrated according to Divine Worship at 11:30am at Christ the King Church Langney. We'd love to see you! The pew sheet is available at the link below.
This Sunday has many names, including Dominica in Albis (“White Sunday”, from the white robes of the newly-baptised); Low Sunday (compared to the “high” Sunday of Easter itself); and Quasimodo Sunday (from the first words of the introit, “Quasi modo geniti infantes”, “Like new-born babes”). Victor Hugo’s hunchback was given the name Quasimodo because he was found on this Sunday.
“Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.’ Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’”
