Dear All, July trundles on………. I wonder how others are finding these weeks – I feel it is ‘going on a bit’! I think I long for a ‘normal’ summer – without mention of COVID, infection rates, delta variants & so on. Our theme today probably reflects something of this. It is really just thoughts…

Leader: Come, Lord Jesus: you too were weary when day was done; & you met your friends at eventide. All: Come, Lord Jesus. Leader: Come, Lord Jesus: when evenings drew on, you too enjoyed prayer and companionship at the close of the day. All: Come, Lord Jesus. Leader: Come, Lord Jesus: you…
Leader: How good it is to thank our God, & to praise God’s name. We sing of your love at dawn, your faithfulness at dusk. Your presence brings delight & the deeds you inspire joy. So we come together to pray, All: in the name of the Father & of the Son & of…
