31st May 2020: Pentecost Sunday
Welcome to our Online Pentecost Sunday Service at Llanelwy Community Church. Welcome, too, to Peter Cousins who has prepared the service and will be speaking.
Feel free to use this service whenever you want. However, the idea is that, if you can, to start at 10:30 on Sunday. During the service, (after an item) please add a comment on our facebook page to encourage a feeling of togetherness. Or send us a comment or greetings if you’ve done this at another time.
Then, at 11:45 on Sunday, we’ll have a zoom meeting at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82813312027. If you click on this link now, you can download the zoom client (which is free) so you are ready to go, or just use the webpage to join. Or you can dial in using the numbers below. If none of that works for you, please simply ring other people in the congregation or do a messenger-group-chats together (or however you do online chats!) encourage one-another and generally catch up with one another.
Please click on each item and read, or listen to the item, then when you are finished, come back to this page and click on the next item.

Sunday Service 31st May, 2020
Welcome and Call to Worship: (click here to watch)
Watch and join in the liturgy by saying this prayer altogether:
We are met in the presence of God,
And we do not meet alone.
With the angels in highest heaven,
We gather in time, if not in the same place, to worship the Lord.
With the saints of every age,
We gather to worship the Lord.
With the Church throughout the world,
We gather to worship the Lord.
So, by adults, children and babes at the breast,
God’s holy name is praised.
With drums, sitars, guitars and pipe organs,
God’s holy name is praised.
With people from all nations and every tribe
God’s holy name is praised.
And here with our hearts and our voices,
God’s holy name is praised.
We are met in the presence of God,
And we do not meet alone.
