I want to look at the lilies, indeed, all flowers, in a way that helps us understand the profound meaning of the adverb ‘closely’. It is an aspect of Jesus’ teaching that is nearly always overlooked, yet it changes how we see everything.

— Andrew J. Brown, “Looking Closely: The overlooked word in the teaching of the lilies of the field”, CAUTE — Making Footprints Not Blueprints, 4 July 2026

We currently conduct a full worship service on the first Sunday of each month, and discuss a different short reading each of the remaining Sundays.

On Sunday, 12 July, we will open with a very brief service and chalice lighting, followed by our discussion. Robert Helfer will lead the service and discussion. This week’s reading is “Looking Closely: The overlooked word in the teaching of the lilies of the field”, by Andrew J. Brown, CAUTE — Making Footprints Not Blueprints, 4 July 2026.
