Happy New Year! We pray that 2026 will bring peace to this troubled world.

Last Sunday we joined in an ecumenical service to mark the week of Prayer for Christian Unity at the Church on the Green, so this coming Sunday we will have a service of Holy Communion at 10.30 am at Christ Church.

Our service will be followed by light refreshments, as we catch up on news across the parish, so please come and join us.

Our Readings are:

Acts Chapter 9, verses 1-22 The Conversion of Saul

and Matthew chapter 19, verses 27-30 The first shall be last

As we conclude this Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, help us to be 'One Body and One Spirit.' We pray for all Christians, that the Holy Spirit may heal our divisions and draw all believers into a deeper unity of faith, hope, and love. Lord, fill our hearts with hope and help us trust in Your plan, even when we cannot see the way.

Amen."
