READINGS IN MAY 2008

4th May: 7^th of Easter

Acts 1.6-14

1 Peter 4.12-14; 5.6-11

Eternal life comes from abiding in God and knowing he abides in us.

11^th May: Pentecost                        

Numbers 11.24-30

Acts 2.1-21

John 7.37-39

At Pentecost Jesus’ followers were given new vision and power through the Holy Spirit.  The same Spirit is offered to us but can only work if we respond to his coming.

Isaiah 40.12-17, 27-end

2 Corinthians 13.11-end

The mystery of God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – is difficult to grasp, but we are baptised into a developing relationship with Him and that does not depend on our ability to understand.

Leviticus 19.1, 2, 9-18

1 Corinthians 3.10, 11, 16-end

Our lives should reflect the love of God because we are made in his image.

 Family Worship

4th May at 10.00am

This is an informal service for people of all ages, both young and old. We would particularly encourage those with young families to come along and join with us. The service will last about an hour and there will be refreshments afterwards, and an opportunity to meet with other people.

Parish Visiting

As part of our work we pray regularly for the people of this parish, street by street. From April to October a small group of us will be visiting some of the streets that we are praying for that week. Our aim is to make contact with every household in every street in the parish over a period of time. We will complete our first cycle of visits this summer, and begin our second. We look forward to meeting you.

When we visit you, or at any time, if there are any people or situations you would like us to hold in our prayers please let us know. You are always welcome to call me.
