 Prayer for the Week

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of this new week and the promise of a fresh start. Help me to release any anxieties or regrets from the past and to embrace the opportunities you have laid before me. Fill me with Your Spirit, that I may walk with purpose and joy, trusting in your unfailing love and faithfulness to guide my every step. Grant me wisdom and clarity for the days ahead. 

Lord of Peace, the world around me is often filled with noise and confusion. I ask you to surround me with your perfect peace, a peace that calms my anxious thoughts and steadies my heart. Help me to trust in your sovereign control, even when things feel out of my hands. May your peace rule in my heart and mind today, guarding me from worry. Amen

From Our Book Of Remembrance: Miriam Clifford May the souls of the departed rest in peace AND RISE IN GLORY

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)

by the confession of a true faith,

to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity and in the power of the divine majesty to worship the Unity: keep us steadfast in this faith, that we may evermore be defended from all adversities; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen


Genesis 1. 1,2-4a

In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.


2 Corinthians 13. 11-13

Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.


                 Matthew 28. 16-20

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’







Post Communion Prayer

Almighty and eternal God, you have revealed yourself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

and live and reign in the perfect unity of love:

hold us firm in this faith, that we may know you in all your ways and evermore rejoice in your
