Sunday Service - 5th July

Sunday 5th JUly - 4th Sunday after trinity

Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.
— Matthew 11.28 (The Message)

Good Morning & welcome all to our virtual Sunday Gathering

Laura will be leading the service this morning with music, readings & prayers and the talk from Dru all streamed Live on Facebook at 10:30am.

Our bible readings for today are Romans 7.15-25a and Matthew 11.16-19, 25-end.

The words for the service will be on the screen for you to follow along this week. A copy of these words (liturgy) are in the booklet linked below.

If you are missing seeing people from church is there someone you can make contact with to see if they fancy joining you for a chat on WhatsApp / Zoom / Facetime or the telephone after the Live Stream service? Grab a coffee and have a catch up much like you would in church on a Sunday morning. If you are not sure who you could make contact with please speak to Vicar Lee or one of the churchwardens (Dave, Jeanette, Maria or Alan) and we will see what we can arrange for you.

UPDATE: a recording of our Facebook Live service has now been added below:

Personal Prayer

During this period of lockdown we have shared details and links to a few daily devotional resources for use in personal prayer time such as Everyday Faith and Thy Kingdom Come, which are still available if you click on those links.

Here is another resource that you may like to explore in the coming weeks.

LECTIO 365 is a daily devotional resource that helps you pray the Bible every day.

Written by Pete Grieg and other leaders from the 24-7 Prayer movement this resource helps you engage with Scripture to inspire prayer and shape your life.

Lectio 365 is inspired by Lectio Divina, a way of meditating on the Bible that’s been used by Christians for centuries. Each day, Pause to be still. Rejoice with a Psalm and Reflect on Scripture. Ask for God’s help, and Yield to His will in your life.

Both text and audio options are available. You can find out more here: https://www.24-7prayer.com/dailydevotional
