Prayer for the Week

Lord, meet every need I and my family have, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. Open doors of opportunity, bless the work of my hands, and provide for our necessities. Help me trust Your timing and abundance, walking in faith rather than worry. Bless my family with peace, unity, and protection this week. Remove quarrels and selfishness, and fill our home with kindness and love. May our household reflect Your goodness and be spiritually enriched. Help me see Your blessings in every circumstance, replace discouragement with gladness, and maintain a positive spirit. May my life reflect Your goodness and strength.
Remove distractions, give me clarity, and let my efforts be fruitful. May my work honour you and bring peace and satisfaction. In Jesus Christ name, Amen

Revelation 7. 9-17

After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. 10They cried out in a loud voice, saying,
‘Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!’
11And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God, 12singing,
‘Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honour
and power and might
be to our God for ever and ever! Amen.’

13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, ‘Who are these, robed in white, and where have they come from?’ 14I said to him, ‘Sir, you are the one that knows.’ Then he said to me, ‘These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 For this reason they are before the throne of God,
   and worship him day and night within his temple,
   and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them.
16 They will hunger no more, and thirst no more;
   the sun will not strike them,
   nor any scorching heat;
17 for the Lamb at the centre of the throne will be their shepherd,
   and he will guide them to springs of the water of life,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’

1 John 3. 1-3

¹See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. ²Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he^a is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is. ³And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

                Matthew 5. 1-11

When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. ²Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying:

We're All Valued Equally

WAVE for Change is a movement of people with and without learning disabilities working together to create more vibrant mixed-ability places in the heart of our communities.

(Our church has signed up to be a WAVEmaker

The totals for the maintenance collection this month were:
Collection last Sunday £144.63
Standing Orders £355
making a total for this month of £499.63

For us to keep the church maintenance we need £1000 a month from the 2 congregations. The sums at the moment are not adding up, far from it. I would encourage everyone to set aside £10/ month for this and setting up a standing order would be a great way to ensure this happens. Forms for this available at the back of the church.
