Lent Rise Methodist Church
THIS WEEK
Sunday 22nd October we welcome Pastor Josh Wilson to our pulpit at 10:30am
Readings from: Matthew 22: 15 – 22; Psalm 99: 1-9; Luke 3: 7-18
Sunday 29th October we will be led by Sue Clifford.
How
can we call a land “Holy”
when a festival site
becomes
a killing ground
and a hospital
becomes a grave?
Christ,
have mercy
upon the land of your birth
and all who know it
as home.
May the prophecy of Isaiah find fruition
in this
time and place:
No more shall infants live but a few days
or
the lives of older people be cut short.
No more shall weeping
and distress
echo across the plains.
No more shall children
be borne
for calamity.
Let houses be built and lived
in.
Let vineyards be planted and enjoyed.
Let enemies come
and eat together
and the days of hurt and destruction
be
over.
In Jesus’ name we pray
Amen
Most of you will have seen this message from Rev’d Vicci “At 12noon Friday the 27th of October, after Bible Study at Burnham Methodist Church, I will lead a short service of prayers for peace and reconciliation. There will be the opportunity to pray, to reflect and to light candles. If you are unable to join us, you may like to light your own candle and pray where you are at that time.
