The Good News We Share

Updated: May 22, 2021

Dear Brothers and Sisters of All Saints and St Marys

What a delight it is to get to the first bank holiday weekend in May. It always seems like a double treat when May comes around for it to be book ended by the bank holiday weekends. With Easter being early in 2021 it also means that the Feasts of the Ascension and Pentecost also fall in May this year. In that, the Easter message of Christ is Risen Alleluia, is joined with the sharing of Christ returning to Heaven and then the sharing with us of the gift of God in the person of the Holy Spirit.

This week our services are as follows

Sunday 2nd May – Fifth Sunday of EASTER

10.30am – All Saints - 2nd May – Holy Communion. Revd Lizzie and Revd Janey preaching.


This will be followed on SUNDAY May 2nd at 11.45am by Coffee & Chat on zoom – a really good place to do all that interacting if we want and need to. - join with this link: A slightly later start!

When writing this email I was taken by some of the Roots materials that I have attached.

They focus on the theme of staying connected, like Jesus stays connected

and compares himself to the Vine in John’s gospel.

It makes a suggestion for prayer for this week - some very simple prayers for during the day – and I wanted to share them with you as I found them helpful

Use these three simple prayers at the same time each day this week.

Morning Lord, help me to abide in you today, especially when I am doing...

Lunchtime Lord, help me to know whether or not I am connecting to you today.

Evening Lord, I am sorry for any times when I drifted away from you today especially.....

I hope that these bless you today in all that you do. Looking forward to worshiping with you all this week.

Blessings

Lizzie
