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.
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.
Wednesday Prayer @ 10am
This Wednesday, at 10am, we’ll meet in St Andrew for a service of Morning Prayer.
We’ll be finished in time to join the Coffee Shop at 10:30.

… not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another … (Hebrews 10:25)
Why do we meet together? I hope that it’s because we like each other, and we enjoy it - but that’s not the main reason. The letter to the Hebrews tells us that we meet together to “spur one another on towards love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24). How is this possible? Because we can draw near to God through Jesus Christ.
