Lambeth Inter-Faith Walk
There will be a Lambeth Inter-Faith Walk on Saturday 11th September 11a.m.-4p.m.
Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary
In our gospel this Sunday (John 6:35, 41-51) Jesus and the crowd cannot understand each other: they cannot see beyond Jesus’ earthly status (poor, illegitimate) to see the divine within him. Jesus calls us to a new way of seeing which will transform the way we see the world, one another and ourselves.

Ninth Sunday after Trinity
It is easy to have faith when our bellies are full and life is good, but not so easy when times are tough. In our Exodus reading, the people of God are wandering around in cloud and dust. They don’t know where they are going, they don’t know when they will get there, and they are sugar lowed. God complains about their lack of faith but still provides them with the food they need when they need it. In the gospel Jesus has already fed the people but they demand further proof before they will believe.
New website goes live!
Our new website is live. It’s in the same place (www.holyspirit-clapham.org.uk) as the old one but it’s built on a new platform which helps, amongst other things, make it easier to update and view on mobile phones.
Ace of Clubs reopens
Roman Catholic Archbishop John Wilson and members of the Redemptorist order based at St Mary's RC church joined with other local churches, including Holy Spirit, to mark the official reopening/refurbishment of the Ace of Clubs and to mark the 25th anniversary of its inception.

Eighth Sunday after Trinity
Last week the reading from Job explored the complexity of God’s creative energy: tearing down in order to build up, unmaking us so that we may be re-made. Similarly, this week’s text, from Lamentations 3:22-33, acknowledges that suffering and setbacks are not a sign that God is absent but that God is at work in our world.
Meeting in church
Following the relaxation of legal restrictions on Monday 19 July but with the evolution of case numbers in mind, we have considered how to adapt the rules we apply when we meet in church.

Fourth Sunday after Trinity

Similarly, this week’s text, from Lamentations 3:22-33, acknowledges that suffering and setbacks are not a sign that God is absent but that God is at work in our world.
Third Sunday after Trinity
Storms are brewing this week: Job’s life has crashed around him in Job 38:1-11, and in our gospel Mark 4:35-41 the disciples’ boat is swamped by waves.
Second Sunday after Trinity
This week's readings ask us to look again at the work of God in the world around us. They open for us new ways of seeing to reveal a vision of God’s kingdom that is not what we expected…
