When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. Luke 8 : 35Readings this week Isaiah 65 : 1 - 9; Galatians 3 : 23 - end; Luke 8 : 26 - 39Thought for this weekIt is easy to despair about the state of our world, the wars, famines and forced migration, especially in the Middle East.Jesus was born into a community that was under the occupation of another nation whose armies had irresistible power to dominate and rule.Our Gospel reading shows us a Jesus who was concerned with individuals, not armies, or at least not human aggressors and is very dramatic. It focusses on some of the fallout from the spiritual warfare that continues to this day in the lives of many troubled people. Jesus’ attention focusses on one person who he heals in an amazing way.Jesus is still concerned with those who are in spiritual turmoil and enduring mental struggles. Pray for them to find the same peace, hope and a transformed future that Luke describes. GranvillePrayer for this weekO God, the strength of all those who put their trust in you, mercifully accept our prayers and, because through the weakness of our mortal nature we can do no good thing without you, grant us the help of your grace, that in the keeping of your commandments we may please you both in will and deed; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. AmenGod of truth, help us to keep your law of love and to walk in ways of wisdom, that we may find true life in Jesus Christ your Son. AmenOur PrayersFor those preparing for their OrdinationFor all those caught in conflict situationsFor each of us in our discipleship of Jesus

Bible Reading“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come”John 16 : 12 - 13Thought for this week‘More’ is often not a good thing. More work, more stress, more worries, certainly isn’t. People wanting more in different ways often leads to problems for themselves and others. Nations wanting more is always bad news.Yet at the end of the passages where Jesus takes His leave of the disciples before His Crucifixion, Jesus speaks of more that the disciples need to hear and grow into.Jesus addresses us when He speaks of so much more that we are called into through the work and witness of the Holy Spirit, in the Lord’s love and truth.Does this resonate with you? When we pray and spend more time praying, we want to pray more? When we read the Bible with hearts that are open to wonder and the Lord’s love, we want to know and learn more? When we see the Lord at work transforming lives and our world, we want to see, experience and grow into more of seeing the Lord and the work of the Kingdom?Trinity Sunday reminds us there is so much more with the Lord we each have to grow into. More love. Greater hope. Deeper faith. The exciting journey in Jesus we share and are called to discover together. PaulPrayer for this weekHoly God, faithful and unchanging: enlarge our minds with the knowledge of your truth, and draw us more deeply into the mystery of your love, that we may truly worship you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. AmenJust as God’s Word was sent into the world to heal and redeem, so God sends you into the world this day to be light and love, healing and hope. Go now to be light for the world! May the grace and peace of God the Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer be upon you this day. Amen.
