This week is the 32nd Sunday of the year, and as we draw close to the end of the Church year we hear the story of the poor widow who gave away the few pennies she could hardly spare. In a world where the super-rich are often hailed as heroes of the age, it teaches us something about who, in God’s perspective, the true heroes really are. You can read the scriptures for this week here.
This Sunday evening: we are invited to All Hallows, Gospel Oak NW3 2JP on Sun 7th Nov at 5pm for their Patronal Evensong and Benediction. Music by Wood, Bainton and Dupré. A lavish buffet follows!
