A Sung Eucharist takes place every Sunday at 11.00am. After the service there is a time of fellowship when refreshments are served outside the church.
As Fr Louis continues his recovery, there will be no Eucharist this year on Ascension Day, Thursday 9th May. Instead we will celebrate the Ascension on May 12th, the 7th Sunday after Easter.
When we talk of Christ’s Ascension, we so often talk of his departure. That reflects our very earthly perspective, and it leaves us just looking up at the sky. But in reality the Ascension marks a new way for Christ to be present, freed from the normal restrictions of time and place. As former Archbishop of Canterbury, William Temple, so simply put it: “Because he is in Heaven, he is everywhere on earth”.
So we can look at the world and see not only where it is weighed down by violence, mistrust, abuse, but also where it is uplifted by countless acts of love, courage and self-sacrifice. Redemption is there for the whole world and all of humanity is present to God.
For us here in Malaga, if we have the guts to be true to our ascended Lord, it means that we recognise and share in a common humanity that transcends all national boundaries and all social, racial & religious stereotypes. As an inclusive church, our loyalty to Christ means a loyalty to a vision of humankind as a single whole, endlessly varied, enriching and ascendant.

Sometimes we try to fit Christ´s words to our own political views. See the attachment below.......
We are a small friendly ZOOM congregation, quite relaxed and we share out the tasks of readings, prayers, etc.
We started the ZOOM service when COVID forced us to close our churches. We then met every Sunday. When the Churches finally reopened at the beginning of 2022, we switched to a monthly service.
You are very welcome to join us next last Tuesday of the month. The service begins at 10.30am and you can join via ZOOM from 10.20am.
If you'd like to join in, contact Peter Read: [email protected].
