Hero or Villain

Hero of the light or villain of the dark-side; is it clear cut if our leaders are all good or all bad? Today we read about King David committing what we must see as a dark deed. It is a story of betrayal and abuse of power by a King who was looked up to as a great man in his public life. In his private life, however, he was not so scrupulous.

​

Division & Unity

Where are our shepherds today? In fact, who are our shepherds in this day and age? How are they doing? Can we trust them? Do they try to bring harmony for the good of all or do they fuel divisions and seek to benefit themselves. These are not new questions for they have been asked for many generations as we will find out today.

​

Whose Rules Rule?

Today we learn how the prophet Amos gets into trouble as his prophecies displease the ruling elite.
The message from the Lord is not heeded and shows the tension between the
ruler in heaven and ruler on earth. ‘ Whose rules rule?’

​

Pilgrimage

Reflecting on the journey to Santiago de Compostela it may be said that there are 3 paths to God; the path of pain, the path of pleasure and the path of prayer. Today we hear the story from someone who has walked those paths.

​

Giving

The theme for today is “giving” and also of course “taking” because it matters a great deal what we do with our gifts and those things we take from those around us.

​

P.R.A.Y

It is said that prayer is an honest conversation with God, you come as you are; your thoughts, your attitude, disappointments, sometimes anger, sometimes happiness – you come in one way and leave another. Payer changes your personal atmosphere. His desire is to know us, and He wants us to have a relationship with him – it starts with prayer.

​

Mustard Seeds

It’s fascinating to see how bulbs and seeds that are planted and hidden for months suddenly produce little green sprouts and turn into beautiful flowers - without us doing anything. The soil provides plenty of nutrition, rain provides the water - and it seems the little bulb knows what to do all by itself. Today we hear Jesus talk about the Kingdom of God being like a mustard seed.

​

Faith, Hope & Love

Today you are invited to the LUFC Restaurant. We will be serving 3 mains; Love, Hope and Joy. Enjoy, sit back and relax.

​

Trinity Sunday

Today is the first Sunday after Pentecost and is Trinity Sunday, it is unique in the church calendar in that this is the only celebration of a doctrine rather than an event in its history. It is dedicated to the Christian belief in the Trinity – God The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.

​

Pentecost

Today is Pentecost.
Jesus was foretold, Jesus came, Jesus died, Jesus rose back to life, Jesus ascended to heaven.
The disciples are now alone, perhaps they are afraid, confused or unsure.
The Holy Spirit comes to revive and bring hope. To remind that God is with us. To reaffirm what is written and make it relevant for the here and now.

​

AGM Service

Today we look back and reflect on the past year (2020) as we meet for our AGM service.

​

And his commandments are not a burden

Love each other - simple right? But equally perhaps the most profound thing that you could think of and a reflection that we have put 2000 years of complicating theology around this simple metaphysical message.
