Letter from Rev Debra

GOD OF THE LONG DAYS

It is officially the start of summer in the UK; we progress through this month to the summer solstice which occurs on 21st June. We were very blessed in May with some hot weather. There is so much to look forward to during this season. A special prayer for June –

God of the long days; may my life be a long day for you

God eternally awake; may I be fully awake to you.

God of the bursting blooms; bring my humanity to bloom in you. Amen.

Summer time is officially here and it is also halfway through the year! We have as a church family achieved so much together during the last six months – our regular worship, prayer gatherings and house groups, our Easter and Lent services and activities. As you will see from the Bulletin this month, there is plenty going on.

There are two very special events to look forward to this month. Although people may be very busy watering their gardens, sitting in the sunshine or even going away for the day or on holiday, make sure you put the dates in your diary for some of the worship and activities planned.

We can all contribute something to the life of this church: as Paul said in his letter to the Philippians, “I can do all things in him who strengthens me” (Philippians ch. 4 v13). You may find the warm weather saps your strength and energy, but God will give you the strength always to do his work. In the words of a hymn we often sing, “I’ll go in the strength of the Lord,” so don’t miss out on the opportunities of enjoying fellowship with other Christians.

There is a place for everyone, and I do hope you can attend as many services as possible and some of our social events and everything else taking place this month. Being together as a Christian family is vital to our faith and often helps to revitalise and invigorate us all. Let us enjoy the summer together.

Best wishes and blessings,

Reverend Debra
