Yesterday was a wonderful celebration marking 105 years since the establishment of the Mothers’ Union branch at St Bride’s Minor, Llansantffraid.

We began our celebrations by gathering for the Holy Eucharist. A huge thank you to all our guests, and especially to Rev’d Emma Ackland (Bishop’s Chaplain), who preached on behalf of Bishop Mary.

As you can imagine, the tea and coffee flowed freely, accompanied by an abundance of beautiful homemade cakes …there was certainly plenty to choose from!

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special; those who organised the event, cleaned, baked, arranged the flowers, took part in the service, and contributed in so many ways. Your hard work and dedication made the afternoon a truly memorable occasion and a fitting celebration of this remarkable milestone.

We had a deeply spiritual and joyful celebration of the Holy Eucharist this evening as we observed the Feast of Corpus Christi.🙏🏻
“We thank you, Father,
for feeding us with the body and blood of your Son in this holy sacrament,
through which we are assured of the hope of eternal life.
We offer ourselves to you as a living sacrifice.
Keep us in the fellowship of his body, the Church, and send us out in the power of your Spirit to live and work to your praise and glory. Amen.”

📣 Join us this evening at 7pm as we celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi, giving thanks for the gift of the Holy Eucharist. ✝️

It's CORPUS CHRISTI!

Latin for ‘Body of Christ’ Corpus Christi may also be referred to as
‘Thanksgiving for Holy Communion.’

It commemorates the institution of the Eucharist by Jesus
at the Last Supper.

And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it,
and gave it to them, saying,
“This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying,
“This cup is the new covenant in my blood,
which is poured out for you.”
Luke 22:19-20

Some churches in a more catholic tradition process through the streets on Corpus Christi. The Blessed Sacrament is held aloft by a priest, as a public statement that Christ's sacrifice was for the whole world.

Jesus is always present among us.
The Thanksgiving for Holy Communion celebrates our Christian unity in, and as, the Body of Christ.

Jesus, Bread of Life,
feed our faith,
help us to share our resources fairly,
help us to find joy in our differences,
and help us to love one another
as you have loved us.
Amen.
