Seems that my former blog is not accessible at the moment - strange pop-ups intrude - so I'm starting afresh and hoping. Welcome to this new adventure, on this very fine spring day.
One of the central characteristics of Christian faith is Hope. As we journey again through Lent towards the cross it is with the knowledge that whatever difficulties we face we are never alone. Our companion has journeyed this way before, as have so many pilgrims though the centuries.
Today in St Mary's on the Harbour 'SMOTH' we celebrated Mothering Sunday with many families. A new experimental liturgy, especially written for children, was being tested, with the approval of the Archbishops. It included questions and responses during the Eucharistic Prayer which both enlivened and engaged everyone present.
Mothers, as well as other females in the congregation, were given a little posy of daffodils in celebration. Mine one had three stems which seemed to celebrate each of our three sons. Today is also a day to remember my own mother, a faithful lady, who would have been 84 today, even now ten years after her passing I miss her.
