The service will be followed by tea, coffee and cakes and an opportunity to chat to our Archdeacon, as we plan the future of our churches in the benefice
Our Readings are:
Isaiah Chapter 61 verses 10- end
and
Luke Chapter 1 verses 46-55
Dear God, we are so incredibly in need of your power and your strength. We ask that you would fill us with your Spirit of love and unity among believers all around our world. We ask for your help to set aside our differences and look to the greater cause, the cause of Christ. Please help us to truly live out a life of love. We know that this is only possible through the power of your Spirit, so we ask that you would move across our land in miraculous ways, with fresh filling and awareness, turning your people back to you, drawing others to come to know you.Amen
