“Knowing other people is intelligence
Knowing yourself is wisdom
mastering other people is strength
mastering yourself is power
if you realise what you have is enough
then you are rich, truly rich”
lao tzu, tao te Ching
Quotation written by Dave inside the cover of his art book
morning has broken,
like the first morning,
blackbird has spoken
like the first bird.
praise for the singing!
praise for the morning!
praise for them, springing
Fresh from the word!
sweet the rain’s new fall,
sunlit from heaven,
like the first dewfall
on the first grass.
praise for the sweetness
of the wet garden
sprung in completeness
Where his feet pass.
mine is the sunlight!
mine is the morning!
born of the one light
eden saw play!
praise with elation,
praise every morning,
god’s re-creation
of the new day!

‘satisFieD minD’
By Jeff Buckley
‘Dear lorD anD Father oF manKinD’
Dear lord and Father of mankind,
Forgive our foolish ways!
re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence praise.
in simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the lord,
let us, like them, without a word
rise up and follow thee.
o sabbath rest by galilee!
o calm of hills above,
Where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
o still small voice of calm!

Thank you for being here today.
the lorD’s prayer
our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
give us this day our daily bread.
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
amen
Thank you for being a friend.
We hope you can join us immediately after the service at
