Every day we post a Thought for the day written by someone within the circuit. Some are very light hearted and some are very deep theologically with all bases between covered.
We hope these will encourage, uplift and make you reflect but most of all we hope you enjoy reading these small daily snippets and take some inspiration on your daily journey

Boris is not the only one who needs a hair cut! Instead of talking about the weather one of the main topics of conversation is – when will I be able to get a hair cut! I last had mine cut at the beginning of December and from what the Government are saying will have…
One of the things I have missed during the last year has been our family holiday to Conistone in Wharfedale, about three miles up the Dale from Grassington in some beautiful countryside. Normally over twenty of us spend time in communal living, there is no television, so we entertain ourselves, chatting, catching up on each…

You never know when you’ll need the Lord’s comfort the most—-when God’s care will be your only hope to face tomorrow. One day in 1932, pianist, singer and songwriter Thomas A.

Rev Joan is often reminding us to count our blessings. This I try to do but during this lockdown I have found it more difficult as I think many others have too. However, since the snow and ice have disappeared it is much easier to count my blessings. The snowdrops and crocuses are lovely, and…
As I look back over the last year, I have found myself repeatedly saying sorry. The truth is that life hasn’t worked in the way that it ought to work and I know that I have made mistakes along the way, in part, because I have found the whole process of working in an alien…
