SUNDAY 2 AUGUST 2026
The start of August is Lammas, celebration of the first cut of the harvest, a reminder of our reliance on the land and those who work it for our daily bread. Our Gospel reading is Matthew’s telling of Jesus feeding a multitude with five loaves and two fishes. This acts as the entry point into an exploration of the Lord’s Prayer.

For August our worship is focussed on one church each week.
