One of the greatest privileges of our lives is sharing it with others. But sadly that means that however it comes, death hurts for those of us left behind. Join us for a service of prayer and reflection as we commend to God all those whom we love but see no longer.
Chance to hear from a renowned meteorologist the issues facing God’s world today, and more importantly, how we can make a more positive impact, how we can steward God’s creation as we are called to do…
Poet-Priest Malcolm Guite will take us on a poetic journey through the book of Psalms, exploring how these scriptures both prophesy the coming of Christ and his kingdom and also give voice to our own inner life of prayer and longing for God.
Malcolm was ordained as a priest in the Church of England in 1991 and was Chaplain for 20 years at Girton College, Cambridge, where he remains a Supernumerary Fellow. He is the author of five books of poetry and several books on Christian faith and theology. He also writes the weekly “Poet’s Corner” column for the Church Times.
