Greetings from Emmanuel Road and links to this week’s address/podcast for Valentine’s Day – 13th February 2021
As in previous weeks I trust all remains as well as can be expected and, perhaps even, hoped.
As usual, here are links to this week’s address/podcast. It’s called:“Sappho’s time-scissored work—A new-materialist meditation for Valentine’s Day”

Podcast:
If you would like to join a conversation about this or any other podcast then please note our next Wednesday Evening Zoom meeting will take place on 24th February at 19.30 GMT. The link will be published here and in the notes to the podcast for that week.
Please remember that if you would like to speak with me during the week simply reply to this email and we can arrange a suitable time to talk properly either by telephone or Zoom. Alas, the new strain of the coronavirus is clearly so infectious that, for the moment, it seems best to put on hold my offer of taking a socially distanced walk somewhere in and around town except for the most pressing reasons. It is clear we need to continue to double down on our duty to minimise direct contact with one another in order both to protect ourselves and others.
Please note there is now a new number for the church office. You can find that below my signature.
And, lastly, as always, if on reading this you decide you would like to join us on Sunday morning for the service of mindful meditation and time of conversation following and do not have the necessary Zoom link then please contact our Church Secretary, Brendan Boyle, via the contact page of our website. Just look through the dropdown tabs to find “Secretary”:

Please log in between 9.45 and 10am. The meditation starts at 10am sharp, and finishes about 10.50. There will then be a short break to allow you to stretch your legs, compose your thoughts, or put the kettle on. The ‘Time for Conversation’ will start about 11am, and if you aren’t taking part in the meditation, feel free to sign in during the break for the conversation. To get the most from the meditation, you will find it helpful to either print out the order of service, or display it in a second window. Here is the link:

You might also wish to have a small candle or tea-light to hand to light at a certain point during the meditation.
A representative recorded version of the service is available for download via my podcast site here
