Reflection in words & music – Sunday 25th January 2026

from St Bride's Church, Fleet Street · host St Bride's Church, Fleet Street

Join The Revd Steve Morris, Associate Priest of St Bride's, and St Bride's Choir for this week's reflection in words and music. "How lovely are the messengers that preach us the gospel of peace" are the opening words of the anthem which begins our reflection this week. They are from Felix Mendelssohn's great oratorio "St Paul" which premiered in Düsseldorf in 1836. Mendelssohn played this gentle and beautiful movement to Queen Victoria at Buckingham Palace in 1842. Today we celebrate the Conversion of Paul and our reading from Acts describes this and Paul's first sermon in Damascus which Steve then reflects on. We close with the hymn "We have a gospel to proclaim." A new episode of this online act of worship is released every Sunday morning.
