Morning Prayer Thursday, 3 June 2021
Your Words Reveal Your Heart ‘… Your speech betrays you.’ Matthew 26: 73 NKJV The words you speak will give you away every time. It happened to Peter.

Prayer of the Week 30 May 2021
Wonderful God, as we gaze at the miracle of your world, intricate and interconnected,

We wonder that you love each one of us, seeing us, knowing us
and filling us with the breath of life.

and with you, to care for the whole of creation.
Amen
