St Thomas’ Church
“Building the Kingdom…….”
These are challenging times in which we cannot meet as a church. However, please know that you are being prayed for.
Whilst David is celebrating Communion on behalf of us all and the community every Wednesday and Sunday at 10.30am, together with Morning Prayer at 9am and Barbara is doing a short service at 6pm, and all that is being shown via the internet, not all of us have access to that. So, we are hoping to send out this weekly sheet to help us all pray, continue to read God’s word and listen to His voice together in the midst of what is going on around us.
This coming Sunday 29th March, not only are the clocks going forward by an hour, it is officially the start of British Summer Time, but it is also the start of Passiontide as we come towards the end of Lent, looking to Palm Sunday the following week, then Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. So please use the lectionary readings for Morning and Evening Prayer below and know that our God is from everlasting to everlasting, it is He who made us and we are His people and the sheep of His pasture, as we pray together:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive them that trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power, the glory, the splendour and the majesty,
Forever and ever. Amen.
