At Your Service

Sunday, 19 April 2020 - 30 minutes

Hello! I'm Judith Ley, and once again I'm joined by members of the Island's Christian community to offer you a mix of music, Bible reading, reflection, prayer and stories with one aim - to lift us up whilst we're locked down! For the next 40 days we stay in the season of Easter, and our Bible readings tell what happened after Jesus rose from the dead. He met his disciples a number of times - always when they were least expecting it! Jesus talked with them, helping them to understand what had happened to him, and teaching them what to tell other people about him. Today, LOUISE BECKETT reads the story of Doubting Thomas, as told in St John's Gospel, and Rev'd JO DUDLEY (Vicar of Christ Church in Laxey) shares some thoughts on what that story might mean for us today. GILL POOLE is a Reader in the Anglican Church, and enjoys leading Quiet Days, helping people to discover God in the busyness of life - which is often easier said than done! A poem - THE WORD'S OUT by GODFREY RUST sums this up - and Gill makes it into a reflection, mixing the words with 'Halleluia' by flautist SIMEON WOOD. Rev'd RICHARD HALL , leader of the Methodist Church on the Island, began a 3-month sabbatical in January - a complete break from his usual ministry work, to enable Richard - and his wife Ruth - to discern God's plan for their future, when Richard retires next year. No one could have imagined how the world would change in that short space of time - Richard joins us on the programme, to reflect on the link between these events. And finally - Andy Perry launches the first of our new mini-series - A Talk Before Ten - lasting just half a minute! And the music is uplifting too - including a stirring version of Will Your Anchor Hold In The Storms of Life - the very appropriate choice of Rev'd Richard Hooton, a Methodist minister serving the churches in Douglas. Your hymn choices are always welcome - to let me know what you would like to hear in forthcoming programmes, email me - judithley@manxradio.com
