This week we hear Jesus' most simple and profound commandment to those who follow him: as I have loved you, love one another.

Its a reminder that noticing God's love for us, and letting it flow through us in our love for others is at the heart of life as a Christian.This week is Christian Aid week with the theme :Turning hunger into hope. I have included the prayer sheet from Christian Aid as part of this mail out, and encourage you to learn more from their website about their work, and how you can give directly to them.

Many of our churches will also have envelopes available for donations too:https://www.christianaid.org.uk/appeals/key-appeals/christian-aid-week

Participation in Christian Aid's mission is an a clear way of extending God's love to those who are most vulnerable and suffer most from the inequities of human failure to oragnise our world with love.

Next Sunday is Rogation Day and we have our Rogation Walk leaving from Countisbury church at 2pm (please park as Barna Barrow car park). This is an opportunity to recognise God's love in the beauty of creation and pray for our parishes, our land and a good harvest.

God bless
