Welcome to today’s Sunday Service.
We’re continuing to learn how to do this and trying out new things – by the time the ‘lockdown’ is over, we’ll know what we’re doing! Thanks to all who have helped this week.
This morning David leads us in singing The Stand (with the help of some friends), Tim brings us family news from Wormley and Sierra Leone, Win reads from Genesis 11:1-9 & Colossians 1:15-20, and Edith leads us in prayer.
As last week, do interact with comments below – don’t forget they are public – and pass this around. Keep in touch and look out for more opportunities to ‘gather’ in the week ahead, and instructions for Palm Sunday.

Thanks both – and a special thanks to David for helping put the video together. God is good. Prayers with you.
Edith
Another successful attempt, can you add another song in the service?
( nice voice David—more of it)
Ben Quant
Suspect we could… Thanks for joining in!
Jenny Vallely
A great service. It was lovely to see different people. Can we have two hymns/ songs next time (or more!). Anyone got any spare carrier pigeons they could send me? Thank you everyone.
Ben Quant
Looks like there is public demand for more songs! It will be so.
I’ve not got any carrier pigeons I’m afraid. I have snails. They come back home too… My Nan used to try and get rid of them from our garden by throwing them over the neighbours fence, but they were always back in her pots the next day!
Jenny
It must be the ones taking refuge from the church!
Jonathan Dzifa and Family

Happy Sunday and a fulfilling Blessed week unto us all.

Virtual high fives all around! Missing you all – I’m having to man the computer on my own, where are the boys when I need them 🙂
Tim
Anyone on coffee this morning?
no more putting chairs away – there are some benefits!!
Ben Quant
11.25am and I’m home already… Could get used to this 😉
Thanks for the news slot – I’ve had the first selfie already!
Helen and Julian Dellar
Well done everyone and thank you. It was so good to be able to join in with you this morning. Love to you all and we look forward to joining you again next week.
Ben Quant
Wonderful to have you join us again! Do you have a webcam? Was thinking that we could all meet for a virtual coffee after the service? Would be nice to be able to have a natter.
Tim
Thanks for the talk and holding us all together – it felt like we worshipped together which is really nice!
Tony
Really enjoyed watching this, thanks to everyone involved in putting this together for us, was nice to see some of you again. God bless you and everyone from WFC.
Ben Quant
Glad you were able to join us!

Lovely to see and hear you all, if only on screen, the benefit is that we have had a service from our church in Bishops Stortford and from WFC, sending love and best wishes, Keith and Catherine Church X

Isaiah 49:13 NIV
[13] Shout for joy, you heavens; rejoice, you earth; burst into song, you mountains! For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
David Palmer
Thanks for the opportunity of sharing worship with you from the south of London.
It was great to see old and much loved friends (and family) joining together in adversity.
‘Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses.’
Ecclesiastes 3.1
For those of us who survive this, there will be a time for tears, both of loss and the joy of seeing each other again, face to face, in God’s time.
Our love to you all, David & Judith
Ben Quant
Thanks for joining us and for the thoughtful reflections. God is still with us, joining in our suffering as we will see on Good Friday, and working to bring healing as we will celebrate on Easter Day!
One wonderful side effect of this has been a the way through these services we have connected with a number of folk from our wider church family. I will certainly be thinking about it there’s something here we can take forward.
