Greetings from Emmanuel Road, links to the weekly address/podcast and an invitation to the Wednesday Evening Conversation, 6th February 2021
Greetings. As in previous weeks I trust all remains as well as can be expected with you all.
As usual, here are links to this week’s address/podcast. It’s called:
“By the way . . .” — Being a few thoughts inspired by the Scottish novelist, Neil M. Gunn, on the kind of way those of liberal persuasion might seek to follow post COVID-19.

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:
