A Prayer for Ukraine
God of peace and justice

we pray for the people of Ukraine today.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen
Archbishop Justin Welby                               Archbishop Stephen Cottrell

Prayer and Message from the Rector

Christine Anderson writes-
By now you will be aware that changes in personnel in church are happening; eventually a new incumbent may mean new thoughts and ideas, and those may mean other changes.
We have to come to terms with the fact that human life is all about change; it’s a continuous experience of endings and beginnings; we live by changing; moments of outward stillness are only brief resting places along the way.
Change can be frightening; it can mean the loss of security and the familiarity we value and enjoy. It’s easier, surely, we tell ourselves, to hang on to what is safe, while, perhaps, adjusting just a little. We may prefer the journey of life to be clearly mapped out, but in reality, life is complex and messy.
Part of serious change is to accept what is happening to us as real, so that we emerge with a clearer perspective, That may sound rather psychological, but it’s also spiritual. Change may give us a feeling of who we are and our understanding of God.
If we need to come to terms with continual change, we need to balance this with a sense of flexibility. We need stability, a sense of who we are, where we belong, and who God is, in order to free us up for an inner journey of faith.
There’s always risk to change, but it becomes more possible if we are secure, if we know we are loved. We may learn to love ourselves, have the love of friends and family; but, above all, the love of God, with the certainty that God walks faithfully with us through all the changes in our lives-wherever our journey takes us.
