Sunday reflection:

Collect for the Second Sunday of Lent

Psalm 105.1–4

O give thanks to the Lord and call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples.

Sing to him, sing praises, and tell of all his marvellous works.

Rejoice in the praise of his holy name; let the hearts of them rejoice who seek the Lord.

Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his face continually.

This weeks communion service has been recorded and is available on YouTube for the coming two weeks.
