BIBLE REFLECTION
If you would like to spend more time studying the Bible, but aren’t able to commit to joining a group that meets at a specific time, you might be interested in the online Bible Reflection group. Together we follow study plans on the YouVersion app. This gives everyone the opportunity to read the same passages and contribute their thoughts at any time during the week, before moving on to the next section of the plan. Please see Liz if you would like more information.

MORNING PRAYER
is said daily, Monday to Friday at 8:30am in the chapel. It is also live streamed on our YouTube channel, St. Andrews Anglican Church Moscow. You can find the text and audio version of Morning Prayer on the 'Daily Prayer' app by Aimer Media, or the Church of England's website.

In honour of national Viola Day, our colleagues from Crescendo are presenting a concert of viola – and not just viola! – music on 22nd January at 8:30 p.m. Viola Day celebrates the birthday of renowned conductor and violist, Yuri Bashmet, some of whose pupils will be performing on the night.

Please come and join us for this musical treat!

THE WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY

Today marks the start of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. If you would like to join Christians throughout the world in prayer for reconciliation and greater understanding, please visit the Church of England’s website or download the Everyday Faith app for themed prayer and reflection.

Heavenly Father,
you have called us in the Body of your Son Jesus Christ
to continue his work of reconciliation
and reveal you to the world:
forgive us the sins which tear us apart;
give us the courage to overcome our fears
and to seek that unity which is your gift and your will;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

On Wednesday, 6th November, we will be having a special Eucharist for the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed. This is an opportunity to remember with thanksgiving before God the saints who are at rest in Christ, those who gave us life, or who nurtured us in faith. If you are not able to join us in person, the service will be live streamed on our YouTube channel, St. Andrew’s Anglican Church Moscow. You can find the order of service here.

On Wednesday, 6th November at 8:30 pm.. after the service of Holy Communion, there will be a concert of works by Bach, Rossini, Beethoven, Couperin and Madonis. Please join us for this musical treat!
