On the Second Sunday After Easter – 4th May – we’ll celebrate Holy Communion at 9am and again at 10.30am, with Revd Jacintha Danaswamy leading and presiding and Revd Vanessa Conant preaching. There will be supervised children’s groups at 10.30am, with a Baby Lounge in the South Vestry at both services. 

As we continue in the season of Eastertide – the 50 days which began on Easter Sunday and end at Pentecost – Revd Vanessa Conant will preach on our Acts 9:1-20 reading: the conversion of St Paul.

Saul (who becomes Paul) is confronted by the risen Jesus while travelling on the road to Damascus, with Jesus asking, ‘Saul, why do you persecute me?’ Saul, who has ‘raised havoc in Jerusalem’ in his persecution of Christians, is blinded for three days, but after recovering his sight begins preaching that Jesus is the Son of God. 

For those unable to join us in person this Sunday, we’ll livestream our 9am service to Facebook. We hope to see you this Sunday at St Mary’s!
