Following the changes to Government and Diocese guidelines it has been decided that the church building will be open for personal, private, prayer. From Monday 15th June, St Peter’s will be open from 10am to 3pm each day.Health and safety guidelines warn that it is safest for as few people as possible to come into contact with one another so we will not have any people welcoming those who come. Please help to reduce the risk of infection by –• USING the hand gel as you enter and as you leave the building.• OBSERVING social distancing at all times.• TAKING a paper cross to put on your seat before you leave. This will help others to know when a seat has already been used. If you have a prayer request please write this on the underside of your cross, (these will be collected at the end of each day).Please AVOID those areas of the church that have been roped off or covered.There are notices in the porch and church reminding everyone of these requirements.For further information contact Revd. Paul Seabrook on 01603 868217 or by email at vicarattaverham@gmail.com.
Jesus sent his twelve harvest hands out with this charge: “Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighbourhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here. Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouchables. Kick out the demons. You have been treated generously, so live generously. Matthew 10 : 5 – 8Bible reading : Matthew 9 : 35 – 10 : 23Thought for the weekAs we now make our way through the Trinity Season we have entered the green time or Ordinary time, a time for growing, a time for looking around us and seeing where the Father’s Kingdom is breaking through, where the Spirit is moving and Jesus is being honoured.In our Gospel reading Jesus even exhorts the disciples to ‘Stay alert’ (I’ve heard that before?). So too we need to listen, be aware, notice, look for signs of the Lord’s work and His breath in people’s lives.Jesus spends time with ordinary communities in their homes and all their places of gathering, bringing His extraordinary power and love, and speaking to everyone of this new hope of the Lord’s presence and love.Ordinary communities and lives, and Jesus who does extraordinary things, brings extraordinary transformation.For all of us there has been a lot of ‘ordinary’ during the lockdown. But we belong to the Lord who has an extraordinary love for us. We are called to see his love at work, and witness that He is the Lord who has power and authority over all things. Let us look to the extraordinary things He is doing today. Rev Paul
