Hallo and welcome to worship. We just have two pieces of music this week.

To begin the service, we have the well-known hymn “God is love, let heaven adore him”: https://youtu.be/gyYWW_P9MH4. This can be sung to the Welsh tunes “Blaenwern” or “Hyfrydol” but I couldn’t find suitable versions.

To close we have Stuart Townend’s thought-provoking (and catchy!) song about Jesus’ welcome: “Come, all you vagabonds”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_k771zhwfs. If you are interested in knowing more about the background to this hymn, there is an interview with Stuart at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zryGXQb_yXI.

May God bless us as we worship together. Perhaps we’ll be back in church next month, although it won’t be “business as usual”!
