Readings: Psalm 133, Acts 4:32-35, John 20: 19-31

Collect

Almighty Father, you have given your only Son to die for our sins and to rise again for our justification: grant us to put away the leaven of malice and wickedness that we may always serve you in pureness of living and truth; through the merits of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Resurrection Unity

The overarching theme of our lectionary readings this week is unity, which is interesting since this comes hot on the heels of celebrating the resurrection of Christ - the resurrection which made all the difference to the way early Church believers formed ‘church’. We will explore the doctrine of Koinonia (Fellowship) and unpack the theological concept of perichoresis (describing the relationship between each person of the Trinity) and see how they form a creative force of community and spiritual formation. As we prepare for our AGM we will see that understanding common-unity is a bedrock on which we must build our vision for the year ahead lest, the foundations be crookèd if we are not one in heart and mind.

Sunday 19th April ASIC AGM, in church after the service.
