Over the coming weeks we will be having a short sermon series—entitled ‘Renewing Our Vision’—as we look together at what it means to be a Christian community here in the Itchen Valley.

• 11 Sept Looking Backwards
• 18 Sept Looking Inwards
• 25 Sept Looking Forwards
• 2 Oct Looking Upwards
• 9 Oct Looking Outwards

So this coming Sunday we will being by looking backwards—back to all God’s faithfulness in the past, which can then give us the confidence to go forwards into an unknown future with an attitude of faith and trust.

Please note that, because of Gerry Stacey’s recent bout of Covid, I will be the preacher at both the morning Parish Communion (at St John’ Itchen Abbas) and the Choral Evensong (at St Swithun’s, Martyr Worthy) and will be delivering the same sermon: so I advise you to ‘take your pick’!

Revd Peter
