The Prodigal Daughter Returns

Today, I went to visit my brothers and sisters in Christ at St Paul's Cathedral. I've never attended a service there before. Now is the perfect time! Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take photos inside the church. Suffice it to say, it looks very grand inside.  After the service, I saw a statue of someone very familiar - John Wesley (founder of the Methodist church).  A visotor, who happened to be a Merhodist Minister from Anerica, asked if I wanted him to take my photo with John Wesley's statue. I said yes. I also returned the favour. https://www.stpauls.co.uk/

The last time I attended my local Methodist church, I complained to the organist about an unfamiliar tune he had played for a hymn I loved.  Today after the service finished, the organist asked me if I was happy with all the tunes. I told him I wasn't very familiar with the tune used for the last hymn. He told me he had something to show me. I accompanied him to his organ. He pulled out this book and said that's where he got the tune I wasn't keen on two weeks ago.  He also played two hymns and asked if I recognised them. I vaguely did. He then asked me to sing the hymn in the tune I knew and I sang two lines, but couldn't remember the rest of the melody. After I looked it up on YouTube, I shared it with the organist and he recognised it.u The organist said although he's willing to accommodate my likes and dislikes, he thinks I'm still too attached to my old school tunes. 😊 That's what I like about small churches, you can influence them to make changes more...

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6: 33 ---- Over the last few weeks, I have been attending a local Methodist church, which is a lot closer to home than the one I belong to. After the service, they offer tea/juice and biscuits and you can chat to members and other attendees. (I don't drink tea, I have juice). Two weeks ago, after I introduced myself to a senior member of the church, she said, "Can I ask you a favour?" "Of course!" "I have misplaced my phone. Could you pray for me to find it?" "Yes. I believe God knows where your phone is and He will reveal it to you." "I know there are lots more important things in the world to pray about," she said, "but I don't want to lose my phone." "I believe God cares about everything that concerns us, large and small including your phone. You will find it," I assured her. Last week, ...

I've been meaning to attend Wesley's Chapel for ages. It  is the Mother Church of Methodism. As my brother and I are going to visit my cousins, who recently lost their mum, I thought I would attend this church today instead, which is closer. It's very traditional. Here are so6me photos of the interior of the Chapel. ❤️ https://www.wesleyschapel.org.uk/
