Growing Together in Prayer
The prayer group has been re-launched with a new name, Powerhouse.
Powerhouse meetings: (in church)
Our mid week prayer session is starting again on the first Tuesday of each month, 2.00-2.30pm in church. This is a good opportunity to come together and pray for all kinds of subjects and people. A member of the Leadership team leads the prayers and people can either pray aloud or silently. Our first session will be at 2pm on Tuesday 6th May. All welcome.
Prayer of Thanksgiving
We gather today, Lord of abundant life, as grateful
children. Delighted and humbled by our bounty, we
celebrate gifts of food and shelter, of colors that
dance at dawn and dusk; we relish the scent of cooking
foods, of burning leaves and summer's wet grass, of
snowflake, of animal fur. We marvel at the intricacy of
spiders' webs and fish bones, newborn babies and lines
etched on faces of grandparents come for a visit today.
All gifts from Your hand. When our meal is completed,
leftovers stashed, and naps taken, we will leave
replete, energized, and eager to go generously into the
world and share our good fortune.
Rev. Lynn James
In
our thoughts...
Make me strong in spirit,
Courageous in action,
Gentle of heart,
Let me act in wisdom,
Conquer my fear and doubt,
Discover my own hidden gifts,
Meet others with compassion,
Be a source of healing energies,
And face each day with hope and joy.

Day
by Day
Day by day, dear Lord of you
Three things I pray:
To see you more clearly,
To love you more dearly,
To follow you more nearly,
Day by day.
