St Bride's Episcopal Church, Glasgow

St Bride's Episcopal Church, Glasgow St Bride's Episcopal Church in G12. A living, growing, and engaged community of Christians witnessing to an Anglo-Catholic vision of worship, service and life.

Welcome to the page of St Bride's Episcopal Church, Glasgow! We update the page regularly, so keep an eye out for upcoming services, events and opportunities to get involved. St Bride's is a community of Christians of all ages and from all walks of life, who share their faith in God together in Glasgow's west end. Our main act of worship is the 10.30 am Choral Eucharist every Sunday morni

ng, and we have further services throughout the week. Everyone is welcome at all of our services. We are committed to making St Bride's a warm, welcoming and friendly place for everyone who visits us, for whatever reason. People with faith, people with none, and those who are exploring aspects of their spiritual life - we want all of you to be a part of our community. We welcome everyone, regardless of gender, sexuality, colour or class, and hope to see you in person soon! Prayerfulness is a fundamental part of what St Bride's is all about; services of reflection and prayer are offered in the church throughout week. The church is an oasis of calm in the bustling, lively west end of the city. Come inside to just sit and enjoy the quietness, pray, have a look at the architecture and stained glass windows, or listen to beautiful music. We try to help others wherever we can. This could be by simply offering a listening ear, collecting items for a foodbank or knitting clothes for babies living in deprived areas of the world. There are lots of opportunities for you to get involved! Music is a vital part of life at St Bride's, and underpins our worship from week to week. Our choir sings a range of beautiful music for all services throughout the year. We always welcome new members, and Choral Scholarships are available. St Bride's, with its excellent acoustic, is used frequently for concerts and occasionally for recordings. We are currently (2016-17) raising funds to restore our wonderful, 150-year-old William Hill organ. See our website for details. St Bride's Episcopal Church is part of the Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway, one of the seven historic Dioceses of the Scottish Episcopal Church (SEC). The SEC is part of the world-wide Anglican Communion, an association of churches in full communion with the Church of England, and specifically with its Primate, the Archbishop of Canterbury. The SEC has also entered into several formal agreements with churches across Europe, such as the Porvoo Agreement (with Nordic and Baltic churches), and has close links with other British denominations.

Welcome to the St Bride's weekly newsletter for the week beginning Sunday 6 September, the Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity.

Sunday's readings: Exodus 12.1–14; Psalm 119.33–40; Romans 13.8–14; Matthew 18.15–20

This Sunday’s readings speak about the kind of life that is formed when God gathers a people together. In Exodus, Israel is commanded to keep the Passover as a perpetual remembrance of God’s deliverance; in the Eucharist, too, remembrance is not simply a looking back, but being drawn again into God’s saving work. Saint Paul tells us that all the commandments are gathered up in the simple but demanding command to ‘love your neighbour as yourself’: love is the fulfilling of the law. And in the Gospel, our Lord speaks very practically about the difficulties of living together, about honesty, reconciliation, forgiveness and the responsibility we bear for one another. And he ends with a promise that sits at the heart of our common worship — ‘where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.’
