News in the Pews


Sunday 28th April – Second Sunday of Easter

Collect for Today
Risen Christ,
for whom no door is locked, no entrance barred:
open the doors of our hearts,
that we may seek the good of others
and walk the joyful road of sacrifice and peace,
to the praise of God the Father.

Post Communion Prayer
Lord God our Father,
through our Saviour Jesus Christ
you have assured your children of eternal life
and in baptism have made us one with him:
deliver us from the death of sin
and raise us to new life in your love,
in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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.
