Sunday Morning Worship

Dear church family, 

May the grace of Jesus be with you on this day. Tomorrow we’ll hear the story of Jesus’ ascension into heaven — it’s a beautiful, bittersweet, powerful story that speaks truth into our lives in this time of climate concern, political polarization, and change. In the meantime, please scroll to the bottom of this email to find an extraordinary poem about the Ascension from the poet Malcolm Guite. May it bless you and guide your heart towards Jesus as you go about your day.

We saw his light break through the cloud of glory
Whilst we were rooted still in time and place
As earth became a part of Heaven’s story
And heaven opened to his human face.
We saw him go and yet we were not parted
He took us with him to the heart of things
The heart that broke for all the broken-hearted
Is whole and Heaven-centred now, and sings,
Sings in the strength that rises out of weakness,
Sings through the clouds that veil him from our sight,
Whilst we our selves become his clouds of witness
And sing the waning darkness into light,
His light in us, and ours in him concealed,
Which all creation waits to see revealed .
