New for those in 12-Step recovery and in faith!

This week on February 18th we mark Ash Wednesday and the first day of Lent. We hope to see you all at Hinde Street's annual Ash Wednesday evening service, taking place at 7:30pm in the Hall.

Feb 8th was Racial Justice Sunday. At a discussion-based Sunday service, we at Hinde Street reflected on how we must love as neighbours those who others insist we treat as strangers, even when this means challenging our own communities & sacrificing our own comfort. Thanks to all who participated.

In marking the Transgender Day of Remembrance last week, Rev Cathy Bird from Union Chapel confronted ‘texts of terror’ - those parts of the Bible that may make us most uncomfortable - in order to read between the lines, or right upon them, and find God’s love, mercy & justice #transdayofremembrance

At our #Pentecost service, we took a moment to appreciate how we each offer what we can to the life of the church. We also prayed for God to change the hearts of those in leadership so that they may work for Peace and the good of their people, and for God to change our hearts too.

What can we do in the face of media, news and government policies which seem to be reversing the gospel values we cherish, such as valuing diversity, fighting discrimination, and treating everyone with equity?
At the Sunday service on May 18th, we shared these ideas... do you have more?
Yesterday we held one of our informal Café Church services and prayed for peace and justice.
"We pray for the justice which would enable peace, and praying for a will for justice which may cost people in power. We pray for people bereaved and for strength to carry on."
For an amazing 39 years, Hinde Street has been linked with fellow Methodists at Kreuzkirche in Leipzig, Germany. Every few years we have visited in either direction, staying in each others’ homes - and last weekend, it was our turn to host. Thanks to all who participated in this wonderful weekend!
