A joy to preach at evensong this evening at a sunny St Leonard’s Streatham. Beautiful music and fun to be with Canon Anna as always.

‘Let us, then…sing a new song to the Lord, not because we understand everything, but because we trust in the One who does.’

With no parish duties this morning, I enjoyed an uplifting Eucharist at St Leonard’s Streatham. Thought provoking sermon by David Thompson.
DanielGlackinMc and @anormanwalker.bsky.social have their APCM, while I enjoy a pint at the local pub in the sun. ☀️
First morning prayer outside this year. ☀️🙏🏻 Joined by birds and four legged friends! 🐤🐶
‘May we walk this day in the way of the cross and always be ready to share its weight, declaring your love for all the world. Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit’.
Once a month @staugustinetooting.bsky.social we come together for our service of Hope. 🙏🏻 🕯️ Tonight we prayed in particular for our world leaders and for meaningful dialogue to encourage peace.
‘As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.’

Found myself with some free time and decided to pick something from @danielgmcc.bsky.social reading pile. 📕 An amazing read on hope and global Christianity. Looking forward to finishing it. #lentbook
Donald keeping me company during evening prayer 🙏🏻 🐶 @danielgmcc.bsky.social
Lovely to be @staugustinetooting.bsky.social with @danielgmcc.bsky.social for mass this morning. Thought provoking sermon by Fr Russ. Great to see new faces in the congregation too!
Lovely morning at St Luke’s Woodside, preaching on the theme of vocations. Lovely to finally meet @jean_yearwood in the flesh! Great conversations afterwards over coffee. Exciting to speak to those considering lay vocations. #layministry
I do love parish baptisms. A spirit-filled morning @holytrinitytooting.bsky.social as we baptised Eddie and Barbie into the Kingdom of God. Children enjoyed ringing bells during the Eucharistic prayer. @frangelarayner.bsky.social
‘Shine as a light in the world, to the glory of God the Father.’
Lovely Eucharist at St Paul’s Cathedral, celebrating saints Basil and Gregory the great.

Every so often @danielgmcc.bsky.social and I have a Sunday with no duties and enjoy worshiping together. This morning we enjoyed a beautiful Eucharist at All Saints Tooting. 🙏🏻
Privilege to preach at midnight mass @staugustinetooting.bsky.social with @frangelarayner.bsky.social
‘And the word became flesh and lived among us’

Merry Christmas to you all.
Tooting is very quiet this morning; the shops are nearly empty. There’s very little traffic. A hush has descended.
The preparations to welcome the baby are complete; for now it remains #Advent.
I do enjoy mornings when I pray Morning prayer on the #dailyprayer app and watch the sun come through the pub windows.
‘the dawn from on high is breaking upon us to dispel the lingering shadows of night.’
A fantastic evening of carols and lessons @staugustinetooting.bsky.social with a thought provoking talk by Rev Sarah Whitehouse. Great to see many new faces and families too!
Unfortunately @frangelarayner.bsky.social had to endure my bad singing voice 😝
God our redeemer,
who prepared the Blessed Virgin Mary
to be the mother of your Son:
grant that, as she looked for his coming as our saviour,
so we may be ready to greet him
when he comes again as our judge. #dailyprayer
Not often I get a Sunday in December off work. It was lovely to get to @staugustinetooting.bsky.social this morning for Gaudete Sunday 😊
Pioneering continues with our neighbors at St Mary Magdalene. A wonderful evening of community carols, in Springfield Village this evening. Thank you to everyone who joined for some wonderful singing despite the rain.🎵 🎄 @frangelarayner.bsky.social @holytrinitytooting.bsky.social
A lovely Christmas lunch with members of @holytrinitytooting.bsky.social today 🎄🎅
