The Word made flesh #gb11
Thought the communion service was very good this morning. The ‘ribbon thing’ was impressive, and all was well led. Nobody was trying too hard. Good sermon on the opening verses of John’s gospel on taking “flesh”seriously. The service concluded by singing Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer, and that will never get a complaint from me. But what’s this? An extra...

Mid-week Hymn of the Day
VICTIM Divine, thy grace we claim, While thus thy precious death we show: Once offered up, a spotless Lamb, In thy great temple here below, Thou didst for all mankind atone, And standest now before the throne. Thou standest in the holy place, As now for guilty sinners slain; The blood of sprinkling speaks, and prays, All prevalent for helpless man; Thy blood is still our ransom found, ...
