Hello all

Heavenly Father,
Bless us as we rest,
Restore us as we sleep
Care for us as we drift off, and
Make our dreaming sweet.
We pray this in Jesus name.
Amen.

Good morning :-)


The Collect (special prayer) for today:

O God the King of glory,
you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ
with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven:
we beseech you, leave us not comfortless,
but send your Holy Spirit to strengthen us
and exalt us to the place where our Saviour Christ is gone before,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The gospel reading – John 17 1-11 Jesus prays to be glorified

Oops missed another day.......sorry......life is still hectic. <3


Lord Jesus,

You have taken us this far all through the week. As the weekend begins this Saturday morning, Father, we pray that it will be filled with rest and refreshment. Give us also the strength to accomplish all that we planned out, (including cleaning). While still having enough time to relax and spend time in Your presence.

Protect us from evil. Provide for us this weekend. We pray for peace, happiness and joy in our homes.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

Hello all

Cynthia, many thanks to you for this week's posting about the home.

May your home always be too small to
hold all of your friends.

Hello all

Good morning :-)

Today is Ascension Day..........and what an amazing story!

Lord Jesus, you became man and came to live among us.
For love of us, you suffered and died for us.
Because you are God, you conquered death and rose on the third day.
Today you return to your Father and our Father,
But you promised to remain with us till the end of time,
And to send us the Holy Spirit.
We rejoice and thank you, Lord Jesus.
Come Holy Spirit, purify and transform us,
Kindle within us the fire of your love.
Amen.

Good morning :-)

Whilst we are grateful for our homes - however humble - we must always be aware that there are those who are not as fortunate......

Heavenly Father
My neighbour has nowhere to call home: help me be aware.
My neighbour needs love and community: help me be active.
My neighbour is crying out for justice: help me be adamant
to see an end to homelessness. Amen.

I read within a poet’s book
A word that starred the page:
‘Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage!’

Yes, that is true; and something more
You’ll find, where’er you roam
That marble floors and gilded walls
Can never make a home.

But every house where Love abides,
And Friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home-sweet-home:
For there the heart can rest.

Our homes.
Lord, we are grateful for our homes. May they be havens of peace. The world around us can be stressful and high-pressured. We are surrounded by conflict and pressure but we pray that inside these walls, You will bring peace and comfort. Help us to rest in You. Amen

It’ll be going round and round my brain for a day or two now kandj, lol. That worship song is one of my favourites. I’ve been a bit grumpy for a couple of days so perhaps humming that song will lift my mood.

Thank you for the prayers this week Cynthia.

Hello all

The sun comes up it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again.
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
May I be singing till the evening comes.

This was the last worship song in church this morning and I'm still singing it even now!

Happy Sunday blessings to everyone today.

Collect (special prayer) for today
Lord of all life and power,
who through the mighty resurrection of your Son
overcame the old order of sin and death
to make all things new in him:
grant that we, being dead to sin
and alive to you in Jesus Christ,
may reign with him in glory;
to whom with you and the Holy Spirit
be praise and honour, glory and might,
now and in all eternity. Amen.


The Gospel reading is taken from John 14. "If you love me, you will keep my commandments".

Dear God, please give me strength when I am weak, love when I feel forsaken, courage when I am afraid, wisdom when I feel foolish, comfort when I am alone, hope when I feel rejected, and peace when I am in turmoil. Amen.

Help me God, to remember to be kind and patient to the
people who love me, and to those who work with me too. Teach me to see all the beauty that I so often ignore, and to listen to the silent longing of my own soul. Just for today, help me, God, to remember You. Let this be a good day, God, full of joy and love. Amen

Good morning :-)

Sometimes, life can be a struggle. We find ourselves going round in circles trying to do too much. It may be that we are weighed down by anxiety and stress. Perhaps life is just a complete and utter shambles. Where do we turn? Who will help? Perhaps we should know better than to ask.

“Oh Lord, I come before you today seeking your strength and encouragement. I know that you are always with me, and I trust in your plan for my life. Help me to remember that I am never alone, and that you are always by my side to guide me through whatever challenges I may face. Give me the courage to face each day with hope and optimism, knowing that you are in control. Amen.”

Good morning.........are you all 'flagged' out after yesterday's excitement (sorry, couldn't resist it). :-D

The Collect (special prayer) for today

Almighty God,
who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ
have overcome death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life:
grant that, as by your grace going before us
you put into our minds good desires,
so by your continual help
we may bring them to good effect;
through Jesus Christ our risen Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you, Amen


Today's Gospel is from John 14 1-14 where Jesus comforts his disciples.
