Dear friends,
It was good to welcome some of you to the first in our Lent series of 'The Prayer Course' on Wednesday. We all learned something from it, I think; we ourselves, God's work in our benefice and the wider world we live in will all be blessed as we find it easier and more natural to spend time talking to God and listening to him. Our Psalm for this Sunday reminds us that we can have great confidence in God, because he cares for us all and he is in charge!
Don't forget the World Day of Prayer service by Zoom at 10 o'clock on Friday morning. The link for that and for the Prayer Course will arrive in your inboxes next week.
It has been encouraging this week to see the roadmap for the gradual relaxation of lockdown restrictions. It's going to take a while, and the time frame may need to be flexible, but the end is insight and we can only thank God for the swift and effective development of vaccines that are going to help make it possible.
It was lovely to see some of you join the service for the first time last Sunday; we hope that you felt comfortable enough to come again this week. We are all blessed by fellowship with each other and, in these days of relative isolation, simply with seeing each other, giving a wave and a smile! If you are able to come, you will need thelink below:
