The glory of the Lord has been revealed

Jesus Christ is the light of the world:

and your glory shone round about them.
The darkness is not dark to you,
the night is as bright as the day.
Let your light scatter the darkness
and fill your Church with your glory

David on Leave: David will be on leave from Friday 3rd January to Tuesday 7th January inclusive. Matters of pastoral urgency can be referred to Deacon Karen Hamilton during this period.
The Prayer Tree is situated inside the welcome area, for anyone in the church and community who wishes to add a prayer to it. You can write your prayer on one of the supplied labels, and either put it on the tree or into the prayer box. The ministry team will look at the prayers regularly and pray for you. ‘Then you will call to me. You will come and pray to me, and I will answer you.’ (Jeremiah 29.12).
