This is a weekend of celebration, as a nation and a commonwealth marks the platinum jubilee of the Queen with gratitude and pride. Two jubilee tea parties are the joyous contribution of the chaplaincy, one on Friday in Denia and one in Albir on Monday.
Celebration is also at the heart of our worship this week, as we mark Pentecost, recognised as the birthday of God’s church, and the patronal festival of this chaplaincy – the Anglican Chaplaincy of the Holy Spirit, Costa Blanca. We hope that you will join us at one of our 7 communion services, where we will mark this special festival. Many in our congregations will wear red, and we hear that there will even be birthday cake in one or two places!
Our churches are all operating services at their normal times, with each celebrating the Eucharist. Our mid-week services continue in Javea on Wednesdays and in Alfaz on Thursdays. Full details of these weekly communion services can be found at this page – https://costablanca-anglicanchaplaincy.org/churches-and-services-3/.
Fr. Rodney and Fr. Robin will be broadcasting their now regular communion service on Fr. Rodney’s Facebook page. It will be “streamed” live on Sunday at 10am Spanish time (9am BST) and then available all day on Sunday, to join at your leisure. As always both the live broadcast and the recording will be available on the following page – https://www.facebook.com/rodney.middleton.940. If you are not ready or not able to join us in one of our churches this is a wonderful way to share our worship.
