A reading from Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians Ministers of the New Covenant 12 Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and found that the Lord had opened a door for me, 13 I still had no peace of mind, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said...
Lord, teach us to pray ‘Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.’ Luke 11:1 NIV® After Jesus was finished praying, in response to their request. He taught them to pray.

Dear Friends, As you will know, we are currently in the season of Candlemas, which began last Tuesday with the Presentation of Christ in the Temple.

Set us free, O God, from the bondage of our sins,
and give us the liberty of that abundant life
which you have made known to us in your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ;
who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen
Good evening, everyone. I hope you have had a fruitful day and can find some blessings which you can reflect on as we prepare for the night ahead. This evening, I have chosen to read a very familiar psalm, Psalm 23. At a time when many people are suffering with illness and others with lack of...
Power in Hope Good morning on this first Friday in February. The days are beginning to lengthen and spring flowers are coming along. Regardless of the snow and the rain Milton Keynes as one is grasping hope and waking up from winter. Let us praise God together for preserving our hope. Lord of creation, we wake...
A reading from Psalm 147 1 Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him! 2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel. 3 He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds. 4 He determines the number of the stars and calls them each...
The Bible is the Word of God Your Word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens. Psalm 119: 89 NIV® Despite remaining a best-selling title around the world, and being more available than at any other time in world history, vast numbers of people don’t understand the Bible and therefore don’t know it....
Good morning to you all. Yesterday was Candlemas and we are half way between Christmas, with the shortest days, and Ladyday, with equal day and night times. It is very much winter still, but we can now feel a bit nearer springtime. O Lord hear my prayer and let my crying come before you. Hide not...
Christ the living word;
you are the source of all authority in heaven and on earth.
All that is and was, was made through you.
When you spoke in the synagogue, everyone was astonished by your authority
and the integrity of your words.
You spoke your sacrificial authority on the cross
and thereby broke the barriers created by sins.
Help us, who are imprisoned by the slavery of sin,
to speak with integrity and authority into the situations of life that demand your light.
By the authority of your name, help us to approach God’s Throne of Divine Mercy
knowing our sins are forgiven in your name.
Amen
By Revd George Mwaura Isaiah 9: 2–7 & Luke 2: 1–14 Wonderful Saviour, thank you for incarnating on earth to save the world. Through your redemptive earthly life that began on Christmas Eve and finished on the cross, you have made it possible for all humanity to connect with God for eternity. Thanks be to God...

Loving God, we come to you with heavy hearts,
remembering the six million Jewish souls murdered during the Holocaust.
In the horrors of that history, when so many groups were targeted
because of their identity, and in genocides which followed,
we recognise destructive prejudices that drive people apart.
Forgive us when we give space to fear, negativity and hatred of others,
simply because they are different from us.
In the light of God, we see everyone as equally precious manifestations of the Divine
and can know the courage to face the darkness.
Through our prayers and actions,
help us to stand together with those who are suffering,
so that light may banish all darkness, love will prevail over hate
and good will triumph over evil.
Amen
