The theme for this Sunday is “Bring Many Names”.  It is said there are 9 Billion names of God. That’s at least one name for every person living on this planet at present.  The choir will sing “Ubi Caritas”, which seems to say that one of those names of God is “Love”. 

Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est                  Where there is charity and love, God is there

Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor       The love of Christ has gathered us as one

Exsultemus et in ipso jucundemur              Let us rejoice and be glad in it

Timeamus et amemus Deum vivum           Let us honor and love the living God

Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero               From a sincere heart let us love one another

Also this Sunday we will sing “Bring Many Names” as Rev Chris recites 99 Names of God.

Bring many names, beautiful and good;

Celebrate in parable and story,

Holiness in glory, living, loving God:

Hail and hosanna, bring many names.

The Spirit of Love and Life knows all our names too.
