Family Communion

for 1 hour, 15 mins
Kidbrooke, St Nicholas
Whetstone Road Kidbrooke London, SE3 8PX, United Kingdom

Family Communion for the Sixth Sunday of Easter: celebrant the Revd Tola Badejo.

First reading: Acts 16. 9-15
Gospel: John 5. 1-9

The service will be followed at 11.30 by our Annual Parochial Church Meeting.

The two readings today convey a sense of tremendous optimism, describing the revelation and realisation that things people thought impossible can be achieved. Acts 16 recounts Paul's revelation that the Gospel should be preached in Macedonia, and how without hesitation the apostles set out across the northern Aegean. For the first time, they are travelling to Europe; they are also going to the fringes of the Jewish world, because in Philippi the Jews meet 'by the river' - they presumably do not have the ten men necessary to form a synagogue. A rough idea of the apostles' journey is given in the attachment below.

in the Gospel passage, Jesus transforms a man's life. The drawing above is by Perino del Vaga (c.1500-47); a tiny masterpiece (it's about 200 mm across), it conveys immense authority and energy in Christ's commanding gesture.
