Readings: Acts 17: 22-31 1 Peter 3: 13-22 John 14: 15-21
In his sermon Robin recognised links between the readings and this year’s Christian Aid Week focus on its “Beacon of Hope” work in Kenya. The promise of the Holy Spirit in its many facets was summarised by referring to the first verses of the hymn “Be still thy soul, the Lord is on your side.”
