Dear friends,
As we move through Easter towards Pentecost, let's remember that God hasn't given us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline (2 Timothy 1:7). So, let's not be timid about the future God wants for us. As we wait patiently for the lifting of restrictions let’s expect God, maker of heaven and earth, to do great things and to lead us into a new freedom and a new life. God bless. |

Our churches - and coronavirus (COVID-19)
Just because we can't worship and meet the way we used to, that doesn’t mean we have stopped being ‘the church’ or wanting to serve our community in whatever way we can. So if you have any worries or concerns where you feel prayer would help please post your request here
.............................Prayer call...........................
You don’t have to identify yourself if you don’t want to (but it would be nice if we had at least a first name to focus on) and your prayer will be passed to our prayer team who will offer it to God for you.
If you're worshipping at home, use the links below and our "Prayer Station" to access the wealth of material now being made available for prayer and reflection, as well as information about live-streamed services. And don't forget the worship services broadcast on BBC1 and Radio 4.
If you are alone and have limited access to help and support, please use the prayer link to let us know that you need help and we will do our best to pass the message on to the appropriate agency.

When you can't get to a funeral...
In these difficult times, the number allowed to attend funerals remains very limited. That means, for many, the majority of family members will have to mourn the loss of a loved one from their home.
To help them do so in a thoughtful and meaningful way, the Methodist Church has prepared this short act of reflection. You can download a copy here.

Please use it when you need to or pass it on where you think it might help a grieving family.
One day, soon we hope, this will be over so, in the meantime, let's take Paul's advice to Timothy: "Don't be afraid!" We have a God who loves us, a Saviour who is with us and a Spirit who inspires us - and we are a people of hope. Be safe, stay well, God bless. | ||
