in a month’s time, but to do the very next
thing to the best of our ability.
Jesus was a ‘night person.’ We’re told in

there are no coincidences,
only God-instances and at

me to do tomorrow or next week or for the
rest of my life, but what He wants me to do
in this very moment, right now, here in the
present and it is this that helps us to

Our Parish Prayer.
Send forth your Spirit, O Lord, and rebuild the face of our parish family. Renew what is weary and worn, restore what
is old and stale; reclaim what has been lost. Fill us with your gifts; gifts to speak, gifts to love, gifts to heal, gifts to bind
up broken hearts and rebuild your people.
