I hope that this email is useful, and that you are able to spend a few minutes at noon each day, as we pray together as a church family. Please do keep sending your prayer suggestions to me, so that we can make sure we are praying around the needs, burdens and encouragements of our whole church family.
‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.’ (Revelation 1:8)
The book of Revelation is a letter from John to seven churches in modern day Turkey. They are facing hardship and persecution, and John writes to encourage the churches and to point them to the future. He starts by giving them Jesus’ words. The crucified and resurrected Lord Jesus tells them that he is. He is with them, and us, now and always. No matter what we face, what difficulties lie ahead of us, Jesus is with us, and he is the Almighty.

For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility (Ephesians 2:14)
Peace with one another is something that we all want, but we don’t always get. In this season of remembrance, we recall that sometimes we end up with war to get peace.
Jesus promises us true peace - peace with God and peace with each other. You would be very welcome to join us at our 10:50am service at St Thomas, Northaw, or at 8:30am for a service of Holy Communion, also in St Thomas, Northaw, this Sunday, as we look together at how peace was won for us.
