AT YOUR SERVICE 3 MAY 2020
At Your Service
Sunday, 3 May 2020 - 30 minutes
Today's programme is presented by another group drawn from the Island's Christian churches, with Bible readings, prayers, reflections and music to lift us up, whilst we're locked down.
We're reflecting on Jesus as the Good Shepherd, with Bible reading and a brand new poem from Christian writer Malcolm Guite, written amidst the strangeness of Easter Day this year, and read for us by Anne Clarke.
Judy Cannan is looking at the 'new normal' and wondering if we see stumbling blocks around us - or could they be stepping stones?
Louise Whitelegg is preparing for Christian Aid week which starts on 10 May and whilst she acknowledges that it will be very different this year, she's praying that sufficient money will be raised to enable Christian Aid to complete their life-changing work in Burundi - one of the world's poorest countries. The bee keeping project started by Harry Owen will enable people to work themselves out of poverty and have a sustainable future - but another £20K is needed - Louise would appreciate your prayers that this target can somehow be met. There's a Just Giving page with all the details if you feel able to donate - just search for Burundi Bees - and you'll also find the full story on the Christian Aid website (there's a donate button there too!) go to christianaid.org
And to strengthen the tie between Burundi and the Isle of Man, Louise has invited one of her friends in Burundi to contribute to this morning's service - Ishimwee Colombe Felienne reads from the Bible and leads a prayer too - she's from Burundi, and is working as a Communications Intern with Christian Aid in that country.
Two of today's hymns have been chosen by listeners - Make Me A Channel of Your Peace and Calm me, Lord as you calmed the storm - do let me know if you have a favourite hymn you'd like to hear on At Your Service - email me with details - judithley@manxradio.com - I'd love to hear from you.
