Pentecost 2021 – Harry’s Letter
Dear Friends, Do you remember the first time you got glasses – or perhaps a hearing aid? Suddenly you could see (or hear) with much greater clarity. This helps give us an idea of what Pentecost is all about. Allow me to explain. Before the day of Pentecost Jesus’ disciples were in a bit of … Continue reading Pentecost 2021 – Harry’s Letter
Easter 2021 – Harry’s Letter
Dear Friends, I think that the word ‘hope’ characterizes what many are feeling right now. There is hope that we’ll soon be inoculated against Covid19 (many are receiving their first ‘jab’ this week), hope that the vaccine will work and hope that the pandemic will soon be over.

Advent 2020 – Harry’s Letter

We don’t know when Covid restrictions will be lifted. We don’t know if we’ll be with our family at Christmas. In the … Continue reading Advent 2020 – Harry’s Letter
World-wide Communion 2020 / Return to Church – Harry’s Letters
World-wide Communion 2020 “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Dear Friends, It has been a weird year, to put it mildly. We have been holed up in our homes, required to wear masks when we go out and … Continue reading World-wide Communion 2020 / Return to Church – Harry’s Letters
