We have become aware that some scam emails have been sent purporting to be from Rev Neil Popham, sent from an email account beginning 'onlinechurch'.

These are not from us.

If you receive one please ignore it and don't reply and block it to prevent further emails.
We are sorry that these have been sent.

Summer

Long warm days...
The pace of life slows...
A time for picnics and rest in the shade...
Lord, help me to rest awhile
in the cooling shade of your presence.
Slow down my restless heart and
fill me with
gentle compassion for all your people.

For the people of the Holy Land

For the wounded,

and those facing a lifetime of scars,

for those desperately seeking medical treatment

where there is none;

Lord, have mercy.

 

For medical and emergency personnel,

risking their own lives

to save those of others;

Lord, have mercy.

 

For those who cannot see anything

but rage and violence, 

that you would surprise them with mercy,

and turn their hearts towards kindness

for their fellow human beings:

Lord, have mercy.

 

Mighty and caring God,

you promised that, one day,

swords would be beaten into ploughshares,

meet us in our distress and bring

peace upon this troubled land.


Amen

A Prayer for Ukraine

God of peace and justice,
 we pray for the people of Ukraine today.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,
that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace,
for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear,
that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen
 Love God and love your neighbour as yourself
