Mother of Christ! Hear thou thy people’s cry,
Star of the deep, and portal of the sky!
Mother of him who thee from nothing made,
Sinking we strive, and call to thee for aid:
Oh, by that joy which Gabriel brought to thee,
Thou Virgin first and last, let us thy mercy see.

Perhaps we will have #ClergyMaltClub folks from across the world this year! Perhaps some folks from #TEC might care to join in? It’s only the one night a year, and the whisky part is optional. It’s the kinship and understanding from other clergy that really matters.
Yes, #ClergyMaltClub is a great unwinder after Christmas Eve/Midnight services.
(And not just for ##CofEPeeps.)

Banking on #ClergyMaltClub being here. Over the summer we stayed in Wemyss and visited just a few distilleries including Speyside where I filled my own bottle direct from the cask especially for Christmas Eve - slainté 🥃 ✝️

For God has destined us not for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live with him.

Lord our God,
restore us again by the repose of sleep
after the fatigue of our daily work,
so that, continually renewed by your help,
we may serve you in body and soul.
Through Christ our Lord,
Amen.
