“I thank you for this, my God,
I am a traveller and stranger
in the world,
like so many of Your people
before me.There is a sense of adventure,
of openness to possibilities,
abandonment to God
and expectation
of fulfilling his will.I accept the responsibility,
I’ll hear and obey,
and trust it is Your voice I hear,
the call of the Spirit,
the cry of the Bird of Heaven.It is a Yes to risky living…
The sea takes me;
where I do not know,
but I gladly go.
And I can only trust
every word You say,
and obey.”– Celtic Daily Prayer

Greenbelt 2012 | Metanoia Play the U2charist
As you probably know, Ruth and I are involved in a couple of services at Greenbelt this year. We’ve had details confirmed about when the U2charist will be happening. It is going to be in the “InSense” venue at 5pm on Monday. The worship is being organised by Luminous in Lincoln. Metanoia will be leading the musical aspects of the service with a selection of U2 songs.
It’ll be great to see you there!
Metanoia at Greenbelt
Greenbelt 2012 is fast approaching and Metanoia are going to be involved in two of the services there. Blesséd are once again providing alternative sacramental worship and we have been asked to collaborate with Fr Simon and the team once more. This year we are doing the opening act of worship in the Big Top at 5pm on Friday. What the organisers were looking for was a ‘charismatic’ service of benediction. Needless to say it will have a distinctive @metanoiauk feel to it.
There was also a request for a live band who would be able to help Luminous stage a U2charist. Fr Simon suggested that we would be able to help out as we played a couple of U2 numbers in the big top last year. Not quite sure which venue the U2charist is in yet or at what time but I’ll keep you up to date!
So who is coming then?
