Buckhurst Hill
The families who used to meet for mass at St James URC are also engaged in pursuing the search. The regular Sunday mass there is no more. But there is a very strong sense of belonging to the church of families living close together in that part of our parish of SToC. So on Saturday 26th February we will have a Mass at 2.30 at St James. Immediately following will be a social cup of tea. And then we will I hope address the Pope’s question. From a sense that this is a real community of inter-dependence on each other, and also concerned for all the activities of SToC and the wider world. We shall be listening. Not knowing where it will go but confident that we are on the right track. The Pope is not telling us. He is pointing us in a direction and suggesting we listen to the Holy Spirit. For that is where the real church thrives.
