Dear Worshippers, Friends and Patrons of St. Clement’s,
Many thanks to all those who helped welcome Maria Kyrkokov Choir last Sunday. I hope many of you are able to join us for worship this coming Sunday. Please note that the Prague Marathon is being held that day and will inevitably disrupt public transport. So check carefully and do give yourselves more time to get to the church that morning..
Sunday 6th May at 11.00 – Sung Eucharist for the Sixth Sunday of Easter
The Gospel reading will be John 15. 9-17 where we find Christ’s greatest command, according to the Gospel of John that we love one another as Christ has loved us. The supporting readings will be Acts 10. 44-48 that deals with the moving out of the church in to the hearts and lands of the Gentiles and 1 John 5. 1-6 which tells us that one loves God’s children by loving God and keeping God’s commandments. Our preacher will be David Hellam. There will be no parallel Children’s Ministry. Following worship, there will be Cool Drinks and Refreshments at the back of the church.
It being the first Sunday of the month, I will be off to Brno for our regular monthly service..

On Thursday is Ascension Day, an important though much neglected festival in the Christian Year. Therefore..
Thursday 10th May at 19.00 – Sung Eucharist for Ascension Day
Though it is not a public holiday in the Czech Republic, despite being so in the neighbouring countries, I hope many of you will join us to mark this important day in the Christian Year and celebrate the ascension of Jesus into heaven at the end of his forty days of resurrection appearances. Please note that we need two readers, atleast one chalicer, intercessor and welcomer for this service so if you could help us with one of these duties do let me know.
