Monday 1st MarUnfinished Sentence. Think about how you would complete this week's unfinished sentence.'THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT I WOULD LIKE IS...' (1 Corinthians 12:4-11)Tuesday 2nd Marsoul moments. This week, as you go to unlock a door, stop, think about what you are doing, unlock the door slowly. Really unlock the door by studying the lock and feeling the locking mechanism turn. Focus your mind on the lock for a moment by thinking about these questions: What does it look like? Does it make any sounds? Is there any resistance or does it turn smoothly? Slowly lock the door again and then gently unlock it again before going in. These stopping moments are soul moments, they are good for our wellbeing.<div>"STOP, UNLOCK, REALLY UNLOCK, wellbeing."Wednesday 3rd MarWeekly Worship podcast now available: https://youtu.be/EtzeW-sc5pEThursday 4th MarWorld Book Day.

At some point this week, stop, feel an item of clothing, really feel it. Spend a few moments focussing on how it feels when you press hard on it with your finger? How does it compare to you touching it as lightly as you can? How does it feel if you run your finger up it, down it and across it? Feel it with each of your fingers. How does the feel change with different fingers? Any thoughts not to do with ‘feel’ that come to mind are just random 'thoughts' so name them so and focus back on what you are feeling under your finger. These small moments are soul moments they are good for our wellbeing."STOP, FEEL, REALLY FEEL, wellbeing."Thursday 24th FebPrayer for the Nation.Lord Jesus Christ,in these dark and difficult days, we turn our hearts to you.In ages past, you have delivered our nation from disaster.Do it again, we pray.Give wisdom beyond human wisdom to our leaders.Give strength beyond human strength to the NHS and all our frontline workers.Give comfort beyond human comfort to the elderly and all who grieve.Lord Jesus Christ,in these dark and difficult days,turn your face towards us,have mercy upon us,and heal our land, we pray.Amen.
