Sermon preached by Canon Beaumont Stevenson on Sunday 18th May 2008:
It’s lovely to be here for your parish name day - Trinity Sunday. Of all
the feast days on the church calendar, this one was actually first devised
by an English saint-Thomas Beckett. So it is a local commemoration in two
senses of the word.
What is Trinity Sunday about anyway-the three in one?
Essentially I believe that it is about finding the miracles of God’s
presence in ordinary life. So the theme I would like to focus briefly on
today is on discovering miracles hidden in plain view ………..

Sermon preached by the Rev David Saville on Sunday 20th April 2008:
John 14:1-14. I may well have preached on this Gospel passage, or at least the first few verses, more often than any other part of NT, because so often it is chosen by me or mourners for Funerals. Not only in the first 3 verses, but throughout the passage, we have some extraordinary declarations by Jesus, some amazing ideas ……

Sermon preached by the Rev Dr Hugh Houghton on Sunday 30th March 2008:
Today is traditionally called Low Sunday – not, I think, because of the
attendance figures, but because after the big build up through Holy Week to
our celebration of Easter, this morning can seem a little flat. Yet we celebrate
the Resurrection not just on Easter Day, but every Sunday, the first day of the
week when, as the evangelists tell us, the women went to the tomb and found
it empty. As this was the day after the Sabbath, so from the very beginning
the Church has met to worship on Sunday, not Saturday (although the early
Jewish Christians did that as well, since they continued to go to the
synagogue). So today is, if you like, the first echo of the resurrection, the first
Sunday after Easter, when it is still fresh in our minds and all creation
resounds with the joy of new life.
