    It was a fantastic service. For those who missed it, we'll have it on YouTube in a day or two, I hope. I'm very grateful to Revd Liz Squires for leading it, for @trevorilaurence for the rich intercessory prayers, and for @vhobbs5 for the challenging sermon. https://twitter.com/mariacpower/status/1528377903062335488
