Church at Home
1 August
Reading Minster are delighted to welcome you to a climate justice service this Sunday, with Canon Brian Davis preaching on ‘Care for Creation’.
The service comes at the end of a busy week of events marking the presence of the Young Christian Climate Network, who are currently walking from Cornwall to Glasgow to raise awareness of the climate crisis ahead of COP26.
Come and Eat
Available now
Come and Eat is a podcast series on Holy Communion, the profound, wonderful meal at the heart of our faith. It focuses on the Eucharist and on resetting our sacramental life as we face the months ahead, looking at different sections of John 6 and Jesus’ invitation to his disciples in John 21 to ‘come and eat.’

A transcript is also available on Bishop Steven’s blog.
Bishop Steven has asked some of our very creative liturgists to draw together some resources and prayers for parishes to mark this season of regathering and rededication.
These resources invite churches to renew their thanksgiving to God for the ‘wonderful sacrament’ of Holy Communion.

We are offering live streamed worship for the Diocese on Sundays and Holy Days in the coming months to complement what is offered by local churches. This Diocesan prayer and worship is designed to be sustainable over the long haul, collaborative, creative, accessible to all traditions, and reliable. We are prioritising, not competing with, local church streams. Our principal Diocesan services will be at 10am each Sunday.
