Today at 4 pm- Synod worship for Pentecost
Members of the Synod Team will be leading worship to celebrate Pentecost together. Among other contributions, Ruth White will be leading some interactive prayers for all ages. She has asked that if possible you can bring a sheet of paper or light card, a pen (or several coloured pens if you want), some light paper – tissue, kitchen roll, toilet paper – and you could bring scissors, but they are optional. All will be revealed on the day.
They are using Zoom, but in a slightly different format. Those who are taking part in the service will be visible on the screen, but those attending will not appear on screen so you don’t need to worry about having a camera. It also means that there isn’t a limit on the number of people who can join in. The link for the service is:
