Another week has passed and so the latest service for 7th March for St John’s Bellingdon is now on YouTube ready for Sunday.
Our psalm is Psalm 19:7-14. The readings are 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 and John 2:13-22 and they are read by Terry with Jill Dwight leading the intercessions. Estelle Foster from Christchurch Waterside is our preacher.
It is on the Parish YouTube channel as a single video – this link should take you there.
As usual the service is available after 09.45 tomorrow when it goes public! I’m not sure the sound is as loud as usual so you may need to turn your volume up at times!
I hope you managed to watch the World Day of Prayer service on the Parish YouTube channel – if not you should find it in the same place as our Sunday service. Thanks to Marjorie for organising the recording – we’d had over 160 views by Saturday afternoon!
With prayers and best wishes to you all. Take care
