DESCRIPTION:Come and join us for the final Sunday of Eastertide!  Our firs
 t reading is extraordinary\; a woman called Lydia\, who is clearly extreme
 ly well off as she sells Tyrian purple cloth (only to be worn by the Emper
 or and Senators)\, but invites Paul and Luke to stay in her house - the be
 ginning of a house church. \n The Gospel describes a paralysed man lying b
 y the pool of Bethesda\; he cannot get into it fast enough as the waters a
 re stirred and others go ahead of him to take advantage of the phenomenon 
 which they think will give healing.   Jesus asks what seems a very strange
  question in the circumstances: 'Do you want to get well?' \, and then tel
 ls him to take up his mat and walk.   Perhaps Jesus is challenging us all 
 as to whether we really wish to forsake our old\, sinful life\, take up ou
 r own mats which we've been lying on for so many years\, and walk with him
 .  Come and join us either in person or on the livestream.
