My sermon this morning at the early service at St Nicolas’s* went all right; it’s short and doesn’t need any extensive editing to post, so I’ll include it below the fold. The congregation was only down by one or two worshippers, despite the very cold temperatures and icy pavements, which I thought very much to their credit — Well done, sisters and brothers!
* The 8:00 congregation actually moves back and forth between St Nic’s and St Helen’s, so it’s most precise to refer to them as such (or as ‘the eight-o’clockers’), since wherever we gather, it’s the same congregation. But here I just added the ‘at St Nicolas’s’ part because… I’m not sure why. But that’s who it was and where it was.

Yes, I know it’s Year A; I’ll fix that in the text file.
