Going through the challenging passages of Luke, Andrew preaches on the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, encouraging us to hear Jesus' challenge, to restore disparity between rich and poor and those who are the 'in' crowd and those who are 'out.' We pray to remember our original calling, to be a blessing to others.

Bishop Pete speaks to us and the candidates for confirmation on the Shrewd Manager parable, encouraging those being confirmed. We pray for the candidates, that they may know and follow Jesus, to live counter-culturally for peace, justice and love of their neighbour.

Andrew encourages us to be active in this season of mission and outreach; to have a heart for the lost and look outwards to those in need. With opportunities for mission coming up; the Autumn Fair, Make Lunch and the Winter Night Shelter we are reminded to be outward facing. Simply to come along, to volunteer or to invite people is a way of showing God's love to the world.

For the last of our Summer Psalms, Andrew speaks to us on Psalm 25. We long and search for God's direction in our lives - 'Lord, teach me your ways.'

Helen speaks to us on one of her favourite Psalms - Psalm 95, also known as the Venite. Psalm 95 is a call to worship which acknowledges both the awesomeness and the closeness of God. It calls us to bow before him and open our ears to him, that we might know his rest.

In part 4 of our series on the Holy Spirit in John's Gospel we look at the metaphor of 'living water' used in John's Gospel, describing the Holy Spirit. We pray for this living water to flood every aspect of our lives when we have the courage simply to ask for it.

Helen speaks to us for the third in our series on the Holy Spirit in John's Gospel. John describes the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Truth, convicting us of the truth about ourselves and the world. Helen encourages us to listen to the truth of God in our lives in a world where truth seems unimportant.

Sam speaks to us this morning for the first time at the 9.30am service about The Holy Spirit, taking his love for words and language to help understand what Jesus means when he says The Holy Spirit is the Advocate or Paraclete.

Celebrating Trinity Sunday, Andrew speaks about perhaps the most misunderstood person of the trinity, for our first part of our teaching series 'The Holy Spirit in John's Gospel.' Sharing his own experience and spirituality, Andrew encourages us to understand the Holy Spirit as with us and in us, to be open to God's presence and action within us through a diversity of spiritual practice.

John speaks to us for the final time at St. Mary's before leaving, encouraging us to remember that 'we are witnesses every time we come out of the front door!' By our redeemed lives will we proclaim the gospel to our neighbours.
