Love nurtures gently, stays faithfully, and grows strongest through compassion. Today’s readings hold together tenderness and truth. In Colossians we are encouraged to “clothe ourselves” with compassion, kindness and patience — qualities that nurture life in others. The psalm reminds us that even in trouble, we are not abandoned; love stays close to the broken-hearted. And in the temple, Simeon’s words to Mary show that love is beautiful but never painless. The theme is this: real love nurtures, strengthens and sometimes wounds — yet it always remains faithful.

I supscribe to Rupert Sheldrake, a very interesting person with lots of theories about life and spirituality, much of which goes contrary to conventional theory. But one thing about which he has a passion, is Choral Evensong!

Here is a link to an article he wrote in Substack about Patronal Festivals.

Very soon, around the end of the month, maybe in time for Holy Week, we will be recording the service in video or also streaming it at 11am Canary Time.

This is the whole service (sorry it is late). When Fr David goes to the altar, the sound is distant. Very soon (hopefully in March) we will be placing a whole service here in video, in good quality. We have purchased a kit of sound and video gear!

including the Gospel, read by Anders

This is a test! It is a rough video of the service with a few bits missing, such as prayers. We need new cameras and microphones, then the result will be much better!

At the back of church is a box containing greetings cards. Previously, the income was shared between Steve, the designer, and the church. But now all income goes to the church and you can buy them at €2 each or 2 for €3. The choice in the box is limited but there is a huge selection online at Mezcla.biz. If you see a design you would like, simply order it online or speak to Steve, and collect it the following Sunday in church! You will see that each card has a reference number. We hope to have a special Easter-themed card. All cards come with an envelope which is included in the price.

A seasonal painting, but not in Gran Canaria. It was inspired by a young woman and her son on Playa de Castell in Girona in January several years ago.
