Thought for the Day

I expect to pass through life but once.

If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.

(William Penn)

Prayer for Today

Lord God I pray that you will keep me ever mindful that kindness is a wonderful expression of love and a wonderful example of Christianity in action.

Daily remind us of your famous words “even as you do it to one of these the least of my brethren, you do it unto me”

I pray that I may never pass by on the other side. Amen

Rev David Kent

COVID-19

Following the governments announcement that places of worship can re-open for public worship from 4^th July (if they feel it is safe to do so), the Parochial Church Councils of The Emmanuel Benefice have consulted with the Rector and they have passed a resolution to remain closed throughout July. We will review the situation during the month and will post any developments on our website: theemmanuelteam.org.uk

We are sorry if you have come to church today to pray. We realise that these are difficult times and you may be looking for somewhere to be quiet with God and we hope you will find somewhere to do that. If you would like someone to pray with you please contact Julie our Rector who would be very pleased to pray with you over the phone or in her garden.

We will do our very best to open the church as soon as we feel it is safe so please see our website for any updates and to find details of how to join others online for prayer, worship, and support.

Julie Anderson is the Rector of this church and can be contacted by telephoning 01484 962184 or emailing julie_anderson51@yahoo.co.uk

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength . . . Love your neighbour as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.”

We still need to protect the vulnerable amongst us, so please only leave your home for essential trips and stay alert.

A day of prayer for our world

Sunday 22nd March 2020.

Wherever you are

Whatever you are doing

Please stop for a moment and pray

This Sunday, Christians around the country will be praying together in their homes, their workplaces, the park! They will be praying in the morning, the afternoon and the evening!

Wherever you are this Sunday please do join in this day of prayer and action and remember especially those who are sick or anxious, and all involved in our Health Service and emergency services. Remember too our Government and nation.

Knowing what to do is a challenge but prayer is the one thing we can all do.

Prayer is simply talking to God and asking him for help.

If you can’t find the words to pray then perhaps you can join us by placing a lighted candle in your window at 7.00 p.m. as a sign of solidarity and hope in the light of Christ that can never be extinguished.

These are difficult times and as we try to find ways to support one another please pray for those you know and love and ask God to keep them safe.
