APCM: The annual general meeting is taking place in church this Tuesday, 13th May at 7 pm.

Pope Leo XIV: Sharing in the great joy of Roman Catholic sisters and brothers, Archbishop Stephen welcomed Pope Leo XIV as Bishop of Rome on Thursday, offering prayers for his ministry and giving thanks for his call to be a bridge-builder in a divided world.
Archbishop Stephen said: “I share in the great joy of our Roman Catholic sisters and brothers in welcoming His Holiness Pope Leo XIV as the Bishop of Rome. With Christians around the world, I will be praying for the new Pope as he takes on the enormous challenges and responsibilities of the Petrine ministry. Pope Leo XIV’s many years of pastoral experience, his commitment to justice, and his deep spirituality are an example of life lived in service to Jesus Christ. As Anglicans, we give thanks for his call to Christians to be bridge-builders across the divisions of our world, and the divisions that continue to exist between churches. This is something Jesus asks of us. He prays that the church will be one.
In his first address, the new Pope spoke of a Church that seeks peace and remains close to those who suffer. Our wounded world needs the justice, healing and hope of Jesus Christ, and we look forward to working with Pope Leo XIV and Roman Catholics in every place to share that love with those in need. I pray that God’s sustaining Spirit will uphold the new Pope in his service of Christ.”
Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to your shepherd
a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love.
By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care,
may he, as successor to the Apostle Peter and Vicar of Christ,
build your Church into a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world. Amen.
Please also remember in your prayers: Martyn Westby, Brian Brown, Louise Gorley, Mark Price, Michael Carthy, Paul Sumner, Sandra Pratt, Michael, Chris Kelsall, Tracey Ashworth, Philip Wayman, Maureen Hardman, Robert and Harvey and Chris Cousins. We also remember the families of Leslie Eggleton and Kelly Beavers whose funerals are due to take place.
