Weekly letter from St Luke's - 16 September 2022

Dear Parish Friends This Sunday we welcome our Regional Bishop, the Rt Rev'd John Roundhill to both our services. As usual the 9am service will also be streamed over Zoom, and the order of service for this, together with the week's notice paper, are available at the links below. We continue to celebrate the Season of Creation with Storm Sunday. Once again we are encouraged to observe the natural world and see in it the wisdom of God. God is revealed in the storm, but also works within the storm. This challenges us, as climate change produces more such extreme weather events to seek God's wisdom in dealing with this crisis. There is a hymn called 'Song of the Sea' by Neil Weisensel that puts this very well (sing it to the tune of 'Praise my soul the king of heaven'): Watch once more the windswept storm clouds; Suddenly the sky has wings! God has come to rain among us, Giving hope to all dry things. Sing a song of splashing waters, Pulsing through the veins of Earth. Yours in Christ Rev'd Timothy
