Teach us to Pray
Dear All Saints and St Marys
This week at All Saints, with children and families from both parishes, we have celebrated the joy of God's world and creation and the gift of science with over 50 children and 25 adult volunteers at Holiday Bible Club "Whizz, Bang Wow!" We have danced, sung, played, made things, talked about God, prayed and been together in a really special way. If you fancy having a sing along to what we have been doing then click the links below and enjoy!
What underpins all of this, as it does with all Christian life and Church is lots of prayer. Prayers for places to be filled, for people to come and be part of something special, for everyone to be safe and blessed by others.
This week's gospel reading sees Jesus respond to the disciples ask - "Teach us to pray". As we look towards the services of worship this weekend then we have the chance not just to understand that more deeply in our own lives, but to experience it with others. That is possible in communion services, but also our cafe church service which offers an informal service style looking at the theme of Devotion.
May we continue to be a ceaselessly praying parishes.
