Little Stanmore Church HA8

Today the Church enters Passiontide on this Fifth Sunday of Lent. At Lazarus’ tomb, Christ calls life out of death. Even in grief, hope has a voice. We walk with Jesus toward the Cross, trusting resurrection is already at work. #Sunday

Today is the Fourth Sunday of Lent, also known as Mothering Sunday. In John 9:1-41, Jesus opens blind eyes and reveals God’s light. We give thanks for those who nurtured us in faith and love, and pray to see the world with renewed compassion.

Like the woman at the well in John 4, we all thirst for something deeper. Jesus offers living water that transcends borders and heals ancient divides. This Lent, we pray for peace in Iran and the Middle East. May His grace quench the fires of conflict🕊️✨#peace #sunday #IranWar

Brilliant community spirit from the Barnet Walking Football Team supporting local charities with their Easter Egg collection at The Hive. A simple idea making a real difference this Easter. Well done to everyone involved 👏🐣

@revpaulwhite Would it be forever?

Niche post: If I became a monk I would take the name Br Melchizedek. End niche post.

@Rgt71Robert @churchofengland @ClergySupportUK @ArchbishopSarah @CottrellStephen A complete scandal. All clergy should receive the same stipend, with legitimate expenses covered openly and transparently. Parish clergy deserve a fair, decent income for their ministry not the indignity of scraping for hand-outs to live out their vocation

Sad that people like David who have wonderful ministries in the ground of @churchofengland rely so heavily on @ClergySupportUK whilst: @ArchbishopSarah : ~£95,630 @CottrellStephen : ~£81,950 Bishop of London: ~£75,120 Diocesan Bishops: ~£51,910 Suffragan Bishops/Deans: ~£42,350 Before we get to scrutinising their expenses too that is…… It is time for deeply Christian change. It is time for a single common stipend. It is time to be more like Jesus Christ.

@carryonkeith Used to love starting off in the Wakeman end and ending up in the Station End 😜

Some beautiful photos being shared for #ShropshireDay but none are finer than this #salop

Thank you @harrow_council for investing in park play equipment. Inclusion cannot be a “might” or a nice extra. It should be the standard from the start, so children of all abilities can play side by side. Public spaces should welcome everyone, without exception.

Shrove Tuesday isn’t “one of the most important” Christian days. It’s simply the run up. Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent: fasting, repentance, and preparation for Eas ter. Tip: don’t wish Christians a “happy Lent” but rather a good or blessed one.

Our Rector has the blowtorch out today not for crème brûlée, but to prepare the ashes for Ash Wednesday tomorrow Last year’s palm crosses are burned, reminding us that the joy of Palm Sunday leads to the Cross, and that we return to God in both repentance and hope. #AshWednesday

⚠️ Anyone travelling to @BarnetFC via @Official_STFC who usually parks on Whitchurch Lane, Canons Park HA8 is advised to park elsewhere tonight due to roadworks and temporary traffic lights outside the Park and Church 😱 #BarnetFC

Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday marks the start of Lent, a solemn call to repentance, prayer, and renewal. We remember our mortality and God’s mercy as ashes are imposed: “Remember you are dust.” Join us for our Ash Wednesday Liturgy at 19:00. #AshWednesday

This Sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time, come to the Eucharist and meet the One who fulfils the Law and writes it on our hearts. Christ feeds us with mercy and truth, renewing and strengthening us to live what we receive in the world. #SundayEucharist

Our Rector, Fr Paul loves being a PP in the suburbs. The parish, the people, the rhythm of it all. But every so often a Sunday off is a gift. Today, a quiet pew @ASMSLondon Fed, refreshed, and grateful. Back to it next week.
