A quote from Mother Theresa:You are greater than you know.Psalm 139 says:Lord, you have tested me, so you know all about me.2 You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know my thoughts from far away.3 You know where I go and where I lie down. You know everything I do.4 Lord, you know what I want to say, even before the words leave my mouth.5 You are all around me—in front of me and behind me. I feel your hand on my shoulder.6 I am amazed at what you know; it is too much for me to understand.Lord we pray that the people of Seago Street will know more and more how precious they are to You. Whatever they may feel about themselves You value them, love them and want them to come to know more. May they experience your presence with them and your peace this coming week. Amen.
<b>Another quote from Mother Theresa:</b>If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.<br><br><b>The Bible tells us,</b> Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. <i>1 Corinthians 13:4-5</i><br><br>We pray that the people of Milton Road West may experience the love of friends and family and know more each day how much God loves them. Amen.
A quote from Mother Theresa:Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. Life is beauty, admire it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a challenge, meet it. Life is a duty, complete it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a promise, fulfill it. Life is sorrow, overcome it. Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it. Life is a tragedy, confront it. Life is an adventure, dare it. Life is luck, make it. Life is too precious, do not destroy it. Life is life, fight for it.In John 10:10, Jesus says, “I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.” We pray Lord God that the people of Clemence Street will know that fulness of life. Amen.
We recently arranged a pilgrimage to Norwich to learn more about Julian of Norwich. We went to St. Julian's church where she was an anchoress for many years and later explored Norwich Cathedral to learn more about the Cathedral and Julian's possible connections to it.Most of the pilgrims also took a few minutes out of the day to spend time with Paddington Bear before concluding our trip with Evening Prayer in the Cathedral.
