Rachel Gardner, President of the Girls’ Brigade, England and Wales, and a director of the charity Youthscape, preaches this Mothering Sunday live from One Church Brighton as Radio 4's worship services continue their journey through Lent. In an increasingly divided society the bible calls individuals, churches and communities to build bridges between loneliness and belonging - this week, through the invitation to contribute to the life of the family. As the mother of two adopted children Rachel takes the words of Jesus to his mother and the disciple John from the cross, committing them to each others' care, and applies them to family and community today. Reading: John 19.25–27. ​Leader: Dave Steell; Music leader: Stuart Townend. Producer: Andrew Earis. A link to resources for individuals and groups can be downloaded from the Sunday Worship web pages.
