Wednesday 29th of January

We will have rosary, worship/taize music, adoration before the blessed sacrament and an opportunity be led into contemplative prayer with scripture with Lectio Divina.

The prayer group is to bring us all into deeper contemplation of Our Lord and God as in the words of the Saint;

What happiness do we not feel in the presence of God, when we find ourselves alone at his feet, before the holy tabernacle! … 'Come, my soul, redouble your ardor! You are here alone to adore your God! His look rests on you alone!' Ah! if we only had the angels' eyes! Seeing our Lord Jesus Christ here, on that altar, and looking at us, how we should love him! We should want to stay always at his feet; it would be a foretaste of heaven; everything else would become insipid to us."

- St. John Vianney

As well as this it's important for us to make good Christian friendships and many a friendship and not to mention some marriages have started here at Corpus Christi.  We have a time of fellowship downstairs in our local watering hole The Coal Hole on the Strand.

Monday 20 January 2014

This Wednesday

We will be having prayer group with the rosary, worship, silence and adoration.

Drinks in the pub to follow.

God bless,
Simone

Adam & Kid (Adam Shadden and Kidus Yared) are a musical duo based in London UK with a passion and a purpose to positively influence people’s lives through music and performance. Adam & Kid combine several different genres of music, primarily Hip-hop, RnB, Pop and Soul and merge with a message of Hope, forgiveness and grace through the good news of Jesus Christ. Adam & Kid are cousins and grew up together. They have both been involved in Music from a young age, Adam as a Singer and Producer and Kid as a Rapper and Songwriter. Their pursuit and interest in the art of music took a drastic turn after they both made individual decisions to take God more seriously and seek after their purpose in life which led to taking a few years break from creating and writing music. A few years down the line, their music ministry as Adam & Kid was birthed as one day they were walking the street in central London beatboxing, rapping and freestyling where they noticed the attention and power of music. They decided to make and create songs that could inspire people and lyrically and melodically spread the message of Jesus. 
A&K devote their God given gifts, talent, time and energy in making’ Feel Good’ music with a ‘Live Good’ message. 
Adam & Kid have recently released their debut studio Album entitled ‘I’m Free’ . The album comprises of 10 original written, produced and recorded songs by Adam & Kid and is available on itunes to purchase. Their vision is big but their God is bigger.
