Dear saints,
I wonder if you have ever received a postcard that said, ‘wish you were here’? Well, this is exactly how I feel about this week’s truly magnificent Requiem service for All Souls. If you were not able to make it, then I wish you had been there because in so many ways it spoke to the love and beauty and wonder that we share in this place, especially as we worship. ‘Wishing you were here’ has been a feeling I have had throughout this pandemic. We have sustained a necessary and long period of absence from one another through much of the past two years. Now that younger children are able to receive the vaccine and the virus presently seems to be waning, how wonderful it would be to welcome you back home this All Saints’ weekend. Whether you will join us in person or online please know that you remain in my prayers with deep thanksgiving and with anticipation for the ministry we will do together.
Peace,
Simon+
