Our first real milestone: celebrating the Eucharist in a small flat church room at the top of Mount Nebo.

Revd Stephen France led the service with Revd Liz reading and administering the chalice. The hymns Come Holy Ghost and, especially relevant : guide me O thou great Jehovah, pilgrim through this barren land…when I tread the verge of Jordan, bid my anxious fears subside…. Land me safe on Canaan’s side.

Our readings also carefully chosen – Deuteronomy 33:1-10 about Moses, right here, and Matthews Gospel 26:26-29 the New Covenant.

There is no conflict here, only people propelled by the same sense of wonder and search for peace.
