Hi everyone,
This week we are continuing our Epiphany journey with my favourite theme of God’s overwhelming love! We will be reading about Jesus' first miracle, the wedding at Cana, and reflecting on what this can tell us about God’s approach to love.
I would really encourage you, as this new year begins, to take time to reflect on this passage and to gather with us on Sunday to celebrate and tune your heart into this message.
Don't forget we have High Littleton Cafe this Friday and our 'Dig In' question time on Tuesday 28th of January (correction from last week)
See you soon,
Adam
If you want to continue tracking with some of the sermon ideas as they develop I have included some more links to useful content that can help to keep us on the same 'wavelength'. This week, How to rule the world as a Human:
You are supposed to rule the world (here's how)
This is what it means to be Christian - Francis Chan
Rowan Williams - reflections on John
Putting on Christ - Kevin Vanhooser
Isaiah 62.1-5, 1 Corinthians 12.1-1, and John 2.1-11
See all below for all the other details of our groups and upcoming events.
Next Sunday we will be meeting 9.30am in High Littleton and 11am in Paulton.
If you want to access resources in the meantime, we have a wealth of materials available.
You can use the YouTube link to get yourself tuned up and ready to sing with us on Sunday.
If you don't feel able to attend in person, we will continue to provide online worship options as well. The link to Twitch is at the bottom of this email.
COMING UP...
Knit and Natter meet in the back room of Paulton church on the first Wednesday of each month from 2 to 4pm. The next meeting is on Wednesday 5 th February 2025.
Everyone is welcome to come along and join the group, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and a cake and have a good natter!
TGIF is on every Friday and Monday from 10am to 11.30am for coffee, cake, playtime and good chatting - you can find the latest details on Facebook here. (Not during the school holidays)
Morning prayer is taking place at 9.30am Wednesday in Paulton and Thursday in High Littleton. It begins with 15 minutes of quiet reflection, followed by Common Worship morning prayer.
The Church of England have updated their Morning Prayer APP. You can now listen to morning prayer from the app. I would encourage you all to take this up as a daily practice, it is a great way to grow a pattern of prayer and learn the rhythm of responses each day.
You can download the app here: https://www.chpublishing.co.uk/apps/daily-prayer

Every blessing to you all.
