knowing that you receive what we give, even when it is very little; in Jesus’ name.
Amen

Good Morning to you all! We come together to thank the Lord for grace on this new day in Milton Keynes, this almost-the-last-day of October.

Loving God, guide each one of us to follow the prayerful example of your Son,
who gave everything so that we may possess eternal life.

If I were to try and describe real communication...
