In this week’s Gospel, Jesus promises peace to his disciples, though not as the world understands it (John 14.27). Writing on the ROOTS website, Ann Conway-Jones invites us to spend some time with Rublev’s icon of the Trinity, and to be drawn into its circle of love.
Come join us at the table:
rest your feet, your soul.
Don’t try to speak,
but catch your breath,
align your gaze with ours.
This is a moment out of time:
allow eternity
to seep into your veins,
before returning to your tasks.
In aid of the Friends of All Saints Church, Spelsbury

So said Thomas Carlyle, and if you agree with him, then do come to hear your local angels, aka The CHASE Benefice Choir.
We invite you to St Nicholas Church, Chadlington, on Sunday 8 May at 6pmfor a short concert of the traditional and contemporary anthems we sing at services through the year. Refreshments will be served to enhance the heavenly ambience.
