Pray with us

Easter is always.

There is the miraculous, and then there is the carrying on. There is Easter Sunday, and then there is the rest of your life. The tomb is empty… so what’s next?

What about all the tombs we've built for ourselves while still alive. All the things we've said like, 'I'm not good enough to…’ Or what about: 'I'm not smart enough.' 'I'm not attractive enough.' ‘I’ve made too many mistakes.’ 'I'm too old.' 'I'm too young.' 'What if I fail?'

And then there are the tombs that other people build for us. Those comments people make that eat their way into us: 'You're a sinner.' 'You're a disappointment.' 'You're not good enough.'  We can spend our whole lives trapped in these tombs. Except we're not trapped. We're just so used to our situation that we don't look up to see the truth:

Which is that the stones have been rolled away.

You are not what other people have said about you. You are not those things you have said about yourself in the dark nights of your soul. The stones have been rolled away. The doorway is open. Step out. And keep stepping out, as many times as you need to. Easter is always.

Gideon Heugh

 

Sometimes
As we let our bodies
sink deeper and deeper
into the depths of our being

the healing Spirit
comes in the stirring of the waters
of our silence

or is felt as a gentle breeze
on the face of our hearts

or is heard by our hearts 
calling us to take the step
that love invites and fear resists

or is tasted in the quiet
amid the bustle
of our days

or is savoured in our solitude
as we remember
a moment shared

or is heard in the yearning
of every cell of our being
for oneness with the Beloved

Noel Davies: Heart gone walkabout: poems, prayers, lines and spaces, Shekinah Creative Ministry Co-op, 1991

 

 

From the rubble of our hearts – and each one of us knows the rubble of our hearts –

God can create a work of art, from the ruined remnants of our humanity, God can prepare a new history.

He never ceases to go ahead of us: in the cross of suffering, desolation and death, and in the glory of a life that rises again, a history that changes, a hope that is reborn.

Patrick Van Der Vorst

 

May you forgive me

as I bring you my faults

in thought, word and deed.

Pour your Spirit upon me

so that I may rejoice

in your Resurrection.

I know you will be my strength.

Amen

Bible Study Group

Are you free on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 till 9.00? If so, then why not join our Bible Study Group which meets each week at this time in either St Nathanael's or the Old Grammar School in the grounds of St Mary’s Church? If you want to delve more deeply into God’s word and thereby grow in faith, or, if you simply enjoy a good discussion and a sharing of views, then this is for you. There are about ten of us at the moment and we come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experience. The discussion is so lively and interesting that, although we set off on a clear path, we often lose the original thread and wander off course because the topic is so wide-ranging and so challenging. However, we all sense that this is the way God wants us to go. We may wander off the pathway but, because it’s the way God wants us to go, the result is very rewarding and very positive. We include some prayers and one or two choruses / hymns and we generally leave feeling  uplifted and blessed. You don’t need any previous Bible knowledge and the course is designed so that you can fit in and join it at any point. Why not give it a try: you might surprise yourself?  If you are interested in joining a group please get in touch with Rev Fiona 07941652488 or Rev Eddie  07787177328.

Welcome!

Welcome to Walton Team Ministry, a group of three churches in the Parish of Walton, Liverpool, that includes Walton Church (St. Mary the Virgin) Walton on the Hill, St Aidan, Cherry Lane, and St. Nathanael, Fazakerley Road.

 

Our history of serving this community is long and varied. In 1086  Walton Church is recorded in the Domesday book and it is known that a church was here at least 200 years before then.  The church of St. Mary's that we see today has been rebuilt and changed many times over the past 1200 years.  Both St Aidan's and St Nathanael's were opened in 1909 and have become the spiritual heart of their communities.

Throughout the many years of being places of Christian witness our ethos and values remain the same - to provide a place and sense of belonging to those who want to worship and serve our God. 

We hope you find our website useful. If you have further questions please do not hesitate to get in touch through our Parish Office by email at waltonparish@outlook.com , or by phone  0151 525 4002.

Full contact details including addresses can be viewed by clicking on the 'Visit Us' tab. 

We look forward to seeing you soon!
