 know\;\nthere is no justice in their paths.\nWe look for light\, but all i
 s darkness\;\nfor brightness\, but we walk in deep shadows.\n\n(Isaiah 59:
  7\,8\,9)\nSo we say: God\, send your peace.\nPeace to this world\,\nPeace
  to this country\,\nPeace for my friends and my community\,\nPeace for my 
 family and my loved ones.\nGod give me your peace\,\nAnd then help me to g
 ive it away. Amen.\n\nHeavenly Father\,\nsurround us with your love\,\npro
 tect us from evil\nand fill us with your Holy Spirit\nthat we may walk in 
 the way of Christ\nand grow in the knowledge of your love. Amen.\n(taken f
 rom St Ann’s Church Manchester)\nAs administrator I have been around for
  a good few\nyears now and have got to know more people in the\nBenefice. 
 It is a great joy to work with and for Claire\,\nthe wardens and everyone 
 I have met. If I was asked\nto sum it up I would say I am always met with 
 warmth\n\nand commitment.\n\nI attend the Benefice Council meetings which 
 are\nbusinesslike\, always relaxed and full of fun and with\nmembers showi
 ng great respect for others’ differing\n\nviews and opinions.\n\nWhy am 
 I saying this you may be wondering?\nRevd Claire is keen that the members 
 of our\ncongregations should get to know each other more by\nattending ser
 vices in other churches. June’s Benefice\nCommunion Service is in Upton 
 Snodsbury on 15 June\nat 10.30am. Claire would love to have a full\nhouse
 ……it is Trinity Sunday and I have been told that\nwriting a sermon for
  that day is particularly\ndemanding. Why not give it a go and support her
  and\n\nthe loyal band at St Kenelm’s?\nI would love to advertise any ev
 ents connected with\nour Benefice churches. Please do contact me on\nbowla
 ndbenefice01@gmail.com and I will endeavour\nto include your event in The 
 Pews News.
