PLEASE PRAY for unity. In the Christian church around the world, across our Churches in Meltham, in our own Parish: that our similarities shine through and our differences pale into insignificance as we live out our faith and hope in the Lord.

READ THE GOOD NEWS – Matthew 4, 12-23 – The first followers of Jesus gave up steady jobs and family life to follow him. Help us to put God first, to ask for His guidance in our lives and for strength to answer his call – whatever that may be.
