Fellowship

If you sense yourself becoming isolated or are feeling particularly lonely, do make sure you do not suffer alone but contact friends or family. They may not be able to visit, but you will feel better for having spoken. Equally, if you know of others who may be in this position, please do make contact to see if you can help. Ask people how they are and wait for an answer.

A prayer for our Benefice

“Almighty God we thank you that you are leading our benefice into a new season of our shared life together. We pray for our Ministry Team; for Samuel our Vicar, and for Graham, Mary, Linnea and David as together they lead us in worship and prayer.

We pray for our Churchwardens: David, Kathryn Paul and Nico. Be with them and our PCCs as they serve you faithfully by supporting our Churches.

We pray also for ourselves, asking that you will be with us in our lives in such a way that our communities of Penn and Tylers Green may see a glimpse of your love made known to us through your son, Jesus Christ. Amen”

Note from the Vicar: We shall be at the Village Expo on Saturday (22) in the Village Hall, an opportunity for us to represent ourselves to the wider community. A BIG thank you to those who have sent in materials to contribute to our presentation. We hope to see some of you as you visit and see the things going on in our local community. Doors open at the Village Hall from 2pm, finishing at 4pm. Please click here for more details of the event.

Lent is now rapidly approaching and we shall be offering two Lent groups, one on Monday evenings and one on Wednesday afternoons. We’ll be spending time with Mark’s Gospel to shape our reflections together. Please do consider joining one or other of the groups – I’m hopeful that it will be a rewarding experience whether you have read Mark many times before or whether you’re fresh to tinking about what makes Mark, Mark (rather than Luke or Matthew!). Details on how to sign up will follow next week.

Aside from my reading plans which are still available by following the link below, please follow this link to a further resource. https://digitalcommons.liberty.edu/sword/
