Maybe you want to give thanks to God for a lovely summer holiday, for weddings, for friends and family or for new beginnings as you go to school, college or university. Looking ahead to October we give thanks at Harvest Festival on 6th October for the food that we have in such plenty in this country. In his letter to the Ephesians St. Paul encourages us all to live our lives in an attitude of thankfulness. This is a discipline and requires effort. Sometimes I will catch myself in the middle of a great long moan about something, and have to make myself stop. If you’re feeling grouchy for no good reason, try smiling - the physical act of smiling makes you feel more cheerful whether you want to or not. But living lives of thankfulness doesn’t mean that we should just ignore our sufferings or the suffering of others and say they don’t matter. I’m not saying that we should be mindlessly cheerful all the time. There is a time to laugh and a time to cry. Sometimes people will be almost ashamed about talking to me about their troubles, say they mustn’t grumble and imply that their sufferings are too small to be of value compared to other people’s. That is not true. All of our struggles and sufferings matter to God, however small they are. But St. Paul understood that if we can learn to be positive and thankful during the good times, then that will help to sustain us through the bad times. He was in prison when he wrote to the Ephesians. Being thankful didn’t diminish his hardship, but it did help him to endure it. So I want to set us all a challenge. A challenge to be thankful. To make the effort to see the positive in a situation rather than the downside. To stop ourselves when we start moaning and give thanks instead. And I think that if we can do that, we’ll discover that whatever life may bring, it will be the better for having consciously tried to live it in an attitude of thankfulness. Heavenly Father We give you thanks for all your blessings. Help us to live our lives with thankful hearts, in the name of Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord, who lived and died for us. Amen. Rev Charlotte Gale, September 2013 FOOD BANK UPDATE As you will know, Food Banks are now up and running in Warwick and Leamington. The majority of the food required is coming from supermarket collections. However, from time to time, certain specified items may run short, and when this happens churches will be alerted and asked to contribute these items for a limited time. So keep watching the handout for any specific items needed, to see how we can help as a church. If you are interested in finding out more, and the possibility of volunteering in many ways visit their website http://warwickandleamington.foodbank.org.uk/ As is our tradition gifts at Harvest Festival will follow the usual pattern, being distributed locally and to The Leamington Christian Mission. The Salvation Army is one of the Food Bank centres which will cover food parcels, but this year they will be most grateful for tea, coffee, cereals etc. The CARE Group RIDE AND STRIDE The annual cycle ride/walk for Coventry & Warwickshire History Churches Trust is on Saturday 14 September. If you can help for an hour that day, welcoming visitors, offering refreshments and signing sheets, please sign up on the sh eet on the Welcome table in Church. Roderick Clark will be ‘striding’ and welcomes sponsorship - see Anne (8.00 am) or Glyn (9.30 & 6.30) or contact the Office: all monies raised shared equally between this church and the Trust.

We all enjoyed a really splendid afternoon of fun in the sunshine and our Lord answered prayers to hold off the rain until the event was over. Please come along to a special service of Thanksgiving for this day, and join in with the other Lillington churches to worship and praise together.

I'm writing this on August 14th, so I guess by the time you read this we may have had some grey skies and serious rain, but, for the time being ..... My mind has turned to words again, and how they either sit together comfortably, or not! I do hope that you have recently experienced some of the following harmonious couplings. Happy couple, sweet peas, crusty bread, blue sky (whether or not you thought about it!), elegant spire, majestic eagle and comical clowns. The adjectives just blend so beautifully with their noun, don't they? But how about these? Hot ice-cream, spiky feathers, ugly roses, rough diamond (not so clear-cut!), and horror of horrors - COLLAPSIBLE BOAT! Yes folks, that's the latest item I have had to get my head around. Alan bought it from a chap in Warsash, and it is, I have to admit, rather good. Made of wooden clinkers and lined with a thick waterproof membrane, it makes a great little rowing boat which can be folded up to the size of a trestle table and transported on your car roof-rack pretty easily. O ye of little faith! To me 'collapsible' and 'boat' just didn't fit into the same sentence. But, you learn something new every day .... Talking of 'faith', how about 'blind faith'? Oh no, I feel a sermon coming on.... My love and best wishes to you all, as the 'ember' months are now upon us, Glyn Wright, Churchwarden Editors Note: ‘Perfect Crosstalk’ is another mismatched pairing. I am always pleased (!) when readers point out errors - may you continue to do so!! SERVICE OF PRAYERS FOR HEALING AND WHOLENESS Sunday 29 September at 6.30 pm in church A special evening service of restful quiet and reflection, of prayers for healing and wholeness, both for ourselves and for those people and situations on our hearts, with the laying on of hands and anointing, and a blessing at the end of the day. John Vallis JOHN VALLIS has now moved to Arden House, 19 Clarendon Square, Leamington Spa, and looks forward to friends from church calling in for a visit.

  • Porvoo Prayer Diary 2017
    PORVOO PRAYER DIARY 2017 The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it ‘to share a common life’ and ‘to pray for and with one another’. An important way of doing this is to pray through the year for the Porvoo churches and their Dioceses. The Prayer Diary is a list of Porvoo Communion Dioceses or churches covering each Sunday of the year, mindful of the many calls upon compilers of intercessions, and the environmental and production costs of printing a more elaborate list. Those using the calendar are invited to choose one day each week on which they will pray for the Porvoo churches. It is hoped that individuals and parishes, cathedrals and religious orders will make use of the Calendar in their own cycle of prayer week by week. In addition to the churches which have approved the Porvoo Declaration, we continue to pray for churches with observer status. Observers attend all the meetings held under the Agreement. The Calendar may be freely copied or emailed for wider circulation. JANUARY 1/1 Church of England: Diocese of Chichester, Bishop Martin Warner, Bishop Mark Sowerby, ​ Bishop Richard Jackson Evangelical Lutheran Church in Finland: Diocese of Mikkeli, Bishop Seppo Häkkinen ​ ​ ​ 8/1 Church of England: Diocese of London, Bishop Richard Chartres, Bishop Adrian Newman, ​ Bishop Graham Tomlin, Bishop Pete Broadbent, Bishop Rob Wickham, Bishop Jonathan ​ Baker, Bishop Ric Thorpe Church of Norway: Diocese of Nidaros/ New see and Trondheim, Presiding Bishop Helga ​ Haugland Byfuglien, Bishop Tor Singsaas 15/1 Evangelical Lutheran Church in Finland: Diocese of Oulu, Bishop Samuel Salmi ​ Church of Norway: Diocese of Soer-Hålogaland (Bodoe), Bishop Ann-Helen Fjeldstad Jusnes ​ Church of England: Diocese of Coventry, Bishop Christopher Cocksworth, Bishop John ​ Stroyan.

  • Diocese of Newcastle Prayer Diary January 2021
    Diocese of Newcastle Prayer Diary January 2021 This month, MARK WROE, Bishop-Designate of Berwick, has again provided weekly themes around Biblical texts to nourish our prayers as we make our next steps in growing church bringing hope. The theme as we start the New Year is Bringing Good News. Secondly, ROB KELSEY, Assistant Archdeacon, has prepared condensed versions for every day of the prayers in his new book, Praying for the Earth. You will find a further note about this book at the end of this month’s Prayer Diary. Also this month, we also begin using a completely revised Cycle of Prayer for the Anglican Communion in over 165 countries, praying for just one diocese each day. Where possible, I’ll include the first name of the bishop. I hope that these developments help to make the Prayer Diary more than simply a list of people and places to pray FOR (important though that is) but also a list of concerns and issues to pray ABOUT. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts about these changes.
