IT’S NEW!!! TONIGHT! On Sunday 20th May at 6pm in The Meeting Place - “Vine Time” – a time for reflection and worship. THIS IS A PERSONAL INVITATION FOR YOU TO JOIN US!

ST PAUL’S PRAYER WALK  As part of the Bishop’s Ten Days of Prayer we have planned a prayer walk for Tuesday 22nd May.  Please meet at St Paul’s at 6.00 pm, we can then order Fish and Chips which we will pick up as we walk past the chip shop.  We will then have our fish and chips together in the Meeting Place around   7.00 pm.  The plan is to walk down to the top of Meersbrook Park then up through part of the Thorpe House estate, up Warminster Road and along Mount View Avenue, then back down Derbyshire Lane and Norton Lees Crescent to Church.  We will stop along the route to pray for the area.

Prayer Focus:  We pray for all those who are ill or are bereaved   and those who care for them 

From Murray
How are you getting on with the ten days of prayer?  How has it been working out making a bit of extra time to use the prayer leaflets?  Have you found a special time and special place to pray?  Have you learned things in the last few days which you would like to carry on doing?

Lots of questions to ponder!  Last Sunday, David Rhodes was reminding us (at our 10 am service) that prayer is hard, so we should pray as we can, not as we can’t!  Prayer isn’t easy, but it is at the heart of our relationship with God, so it is always good to learn and try different ways of praying.
