But first let’s join as always in singing God’s praises: Now we bring our prayers to God: Our reading today is Luke 3:1-17, read for […]
Welcome to our first service of the new year. Today we look at the story of the Magi travelling from the east and “following the science” as it was then understood. Their science led them to God and to Jesus and that can still happen today. We begin by singing God’s praises: We bring our […]
