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”

Brief note from the Vicar:

I am looking forward to seeing many of you at the United Benefice service on Sunday, but once we are past Sunday, as early as it may, we shall start to focus on what is to come in Advent and Christmas.

Please may I encourage you to pray about who you might be able to invite along to something during the Christmas season. In my experience many people are not against coming to a Church service, but they do need inviting. I was saying to someone recently that I have no doubts that anyone entering our Churches would receive a warm welcome; the issue is not their experience once they arrive at Church but the desire to come in the first place!

Before we reach Advent though, we shall have our Remembrance services. Please watch this space for details, but we shall once again be doing an act of remembrance on the common on Monday 11 Nocember at 10.45 which will be in addition to our Remembrance Sunday services.

Please do continue to pray for Gail and the Office in her absence as she remains on Sick Leave. She’s one of the most resilient and relentlessly positive people I’ve ever met and we continue to remember her as she makes her recovery.

As ever, feel free to contact me on [email protected]
