Dear friends,
Celtic Service ImageThis Sunday at 10:30 at St. James’ Abinger as part of our ‘Come and See’ services, Amber and I will leading a Celtic Morning Prayer service. This service combines the beautiful simplicity of a Northumbria Community style service with songs from Taize. Taize centres on meditative and repeated singing of simple songs or chants to enable us to attentively listen and draw closer to God. Please do come and join us as we explore different ways to worship. 
At Christ Church Coldharbour, Virginia will be leading us in our Said Communion service at 9am and our contemplative congregational Evensong service at 6pm.
We look forward to seeing you at our churches this weekend 😊
