Sunday 21^st April – Easter Day

Collect for Today

God of glory,

by the raising of your Son

you have broken the chains of death and hell:

fill your Church with faith and hope;

for a new day has dawned

and the way to life stands open

in our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Post Communion Prayer

God of Life, who for our redemption gave your only-begotten Son

to the death of the cross,

and by his glorious resurrection

have delivered us from the power of our enemy: grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his risen life;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

THANK YOU 

Thank you to everyone who has supported me during my last 3 weeks of intensive Radiotherapy - by prayer  and practical help in several  different  ways. It will be wonderful not to spend future mornings on the 'hospital run' and to look forward again .However,  my sore side-effects (externally and in my mouth) are likely  to be  with me for  a few more  weeks yet..

Thanks again, Christine.

GET TO KNOW YOUR BIBLE

Sometimes we can all struggle to understand how the Bible relates to our 20th Century day- to- day life. Where do we start?

One way is to use Bible reading notes. These are written by a group of men and women who will take a short Bible passage for each day to help with our understanding, suggest some helpful thoughts, and a way to look forward. It isn't a rigid system to stick to every single day. Sometimes circumstances make this difficult. - and we just need to 'dip in'. I have been ordering a couple of types of bible reading notes (1 written by women for women +and 1 more general). They cost £13.80 for Annual subscription-May 19 to May 20. I am often sent spare copies, which can be 'sampled 'before any annual commitment; this month of May is a good time to try. Do catch me in church or the village. Or give me a ring on 259 2624.
