The worship ends with the “Ipswich Blessing” video clip, recorded by all churches there. Ulrike’s short Puppet Bible Stories retell the biblical stories, sometimes with a little twist. For pre-school children and all story-lovers. In this video, Ulrike re-enacts God’s Promise to Abraham: Genesis 12-18.

In this worship, Ulrike uses the video of a specially composed new hymn by John Bell 'We will meet when the danger is over'. The theme of worship is hospitality in the time of lockdown: How can we be inspired by Abraham (Genesis 18) and take responsibility for those who need our help today? Includes special prayers for our and other people’s fathers (those present, absent, thinking of various life situations). Musical and photo meditations, as always, with our mandolin musician.

Rev Ulrike Bell leads Sunday worship for the Forest Group of Churches via Zoom on 14 June 2020. This worship focuses on the theme of 'Responsibility for the other', gleaning a passage from Rabbi Jonathan Sacks’ book Covenant & Conversation. Genesis: The Book of Beginnings. Where in this Covid-time lie our responsibilities for 'the other', and will we manage to take them up, trusting in God’s guidance like Abraham did? Lovely mandolin music, meditation, prayers and a special blessing at the end (Blessing 'When the World is Ending', by Jan Richardson). |
