Anyone who endures to the end will be saved. And this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world, as a testimony to all the nations; and then the end will come. Matthew 24 : 13 - 14Readings this week : Micah 3 : 5 - end; 1 Thessalonians 2 : 9 -- 13; Matthew 24 : 1 - 14Thought for this weekI suspect that many today will be celebrating, if that is the right word, “Bonfire Night”.A somewhat gruesome reminder of the fate of the Gunpowder plotter, Guy Fawkes, who attempted to blow up Parliament.Our English history is littered with folk who paid with their lives for their beliefs.Even the first translator of the Bible from the original Greek and Hebrew, into English, William Tyndale, so that the ordinary folk could read it as well as the priests, was executed for his impertinence.My Living Word Bible was published by The Tyndale House Publishers, so his name is remembered.For anyone who struggles to read through the whole Bible, try it in a version like the Living Bible and when you do give a thought to those like Tyndale who gave their lives so that we can have God’s word in our own language.GranvillePrayers this weekAlmighty and eternal God,you have kindled the flame of love in the hearts of the saints:grant to us the same faith and power of love, that, as we rejoice in their triumphs,we may be sustained by their example and fellowship;through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you,in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. AmenGod of glory,touch our lips with the fire of your Spirit,that we with all creation may rejoice to sing your praise;through Jesus Christ our Lord. AmenPeople to pray for :All those serving in the armed forces at this timeThose in conflict situationsThose bringing hope and relief in the Aid organisations

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22 : 37 - 40Readings this week : Leviticus 19 : 1 – 2, 15 - 18, 1 Thessalonians 2 : 1 – 8, Matthew 22 : 34 - 40Thought for this weekToday we are gathering our completed shoeboxes to be sent to Eastern Europe. They will be given to families and individuals to receive who live in such poor and deprived conditions. We hope and pray the shoeboxes will bring them joy, and will remind them they are valued and loved by God.It is also Bible Sunday. It could not be more appropriate as we remember that God’s word to us is a gift that shows we too are so greatly valued and loved by God Himself, such that He sent Jesus, the living Word, into our lives. Many Christians read even just a couple of verses each day. God’s word has this divine ability to speak the Lord’s joy and hope into our lives whenever we turn to it. To speak powerfully into everything that’s happening in our lives.Amidst the conflict and chaos in the world, the Lord is the true sovereign over this world, He is also with us in this world, and so often we see Him at work in the very smallest of acts of kindness, or the humblest of gifts.We praise and worship the Lord who is all powerful, and yet comes in the most gentle, most humble of ways. The Lord who alone can bring real change in this world, and uses all those whose hearts are turned to Him in faith. Rev PaulPrayers this weekBlessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning:help us so to hear them, to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest themthat, through patience, and the comfort of your holy word,we may embrace and for ever hold fast the hope of everlasting life,which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ,who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,one God, now and for ever. AmenMerciful God,teach us to be faithful in change and uncertainty,that trusting in your word and obeying your willwe may enter the unfailing joy of Jesus Christ our Lord. AmenPeople to pray for :The people of peace in the Middle EastThose waiting for hospital treatment at this time
