 .com\nA seed of faith grows in a garden of hope.\nWe are at the end of the
  week for Christin Unity\nand at the beginning of an even more uncertain f
 our\nyears of international politics with all the changes the\nUSA is alre
 ady bringing and will continue to bring.\nAs individuals we have very litt
 le say in anything.\nAll we can do is our best in our own communities and\
 nhope and pray for our broken world.\nBarrier-breaking God\,\nyou embrace 
 all cultures and lands\,\nbut keep a special place in your heart\nfor the 
 stranger\,\nthe widow and the orphan.\nGrant us the gift of your Spirit\nt
 hat we may become as You are\,\nwelcoming all as brothers and sisters\,\ny
 our cherished children.\nCitizens together in Christ’s kingdom of\njusti
 ce and peace. Amen.\nA Prayer from Pope Francis\nAlmighty God\, you sent y
 our Son Jesus Christ\nto reconcile the world to yourself.\nWe praise you b
 ecause through your Gospel\,\nin all parts of the earth\n\na community of 
 love has been gathered together\nand that in every place your servants cal
 l upon\n\nyour name.\n\nMay your Spirit awaken in every community\na hunge
 r and thirst for unity. Amen.\n(contained in his published writings of 201
 3).\nAnnual Parochial Church Meetings\nIt is getting towards that time aga
 in – a time when the\ndates of the Annual Church Meetings will soon be\n
 advertised and members of our congregations will be\nencouraged to come fo
 rward to serve on the\nParochial Church Councils.\n\nThis year too is the 
 year (every sixth year) when new\nelectoral rolls are required to be drawn
  up with all the\nextra work and effort that involves.\nNow maybe is the t
 ime to ask whether you would like\n\nto get more involved?\nwould you like
  to do more?\nwould you like to have a say in how the church\n\noperates?\
 nwould you like a new challenge?\nIf the answer is yes why not talk now to
  one of the\nChurch Wardens to see what is involved?\nTake the plunge – 
 you may enjoy it and find it a\n\nfulfilling experience!\n\nOpen the curta
 ins and let a new day begin!\n\nBecause with the new day comes\nnew streng
 th and new thoughts.\n(Eleanor Roosevelt)
