Prayer for Today                                        

How can we hide our love for you gracious God and Father? You have become incarnate among us to draw forth an answering love that is visible too.  We are here today, in response to your love, bringing our adoration and our worship, making our love visible as well. Receive all that we have to offer you and cover our worship, we pray, with the generosity of your grace.

Introit

May the mind of Christ my Saviour
live in me from day to day,
by His love and power controlling
all I do and say.

Action for Children – League of Light boxes. The time has come for me to collect the boxes.  I shall not be at church until Sunday 1st March and so would ask all box-holders to bring them on that date or the following Sunday.  If you have any problems handing in your box, please give me a call on 01985 214578 after 25th February and I will be happy to collect.  Barry
