This year’s Thy Kingdom Come - available online. 40 minutes of worship including reflections and prayer, bringing together leaders & members of different denominations across the Diocese of Lichfield and the West Midlands. And a prayer Keep us, good Lord, under the
shadow of your mercy. Sustain and support the anxious,
be with those who care for the
sick, and lift up all who are brought
low; that we may find comfort knowing that nothing can
separate us from your love in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen Resources to feed us spiritually S U Daily reading and reflection Words from Margaret
Shoemark (one of our ALM’s at Paul’s), to reflect on and to savour: The church
is quiet and empty, And yet,
there is a presence, a presence
that surrounds, and sinks
deep into the very soul. The church
may be full or the church may be empty, but, the
presence remains. The people
have left, they have gone out, as a bird
flies out through an open window, and
settles on a bough, and sings
with joy. People who
have never heard its song before, stop and
listen, for it sings a new song. It spreads
its message to ears that have been closed but now
are eager to hear this song of hope. And the
presence in the empty church smiles, for he
knows that the bird will return, for here
it will find food and water. And the
people who have never heard before will enter
through the open doors to hear the bird once more. But even
more, they will find rest in the presence,
