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
“I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go” (Genesis 28:15)
This morning, while listening to the radio, I heard an interview with Chris Packham, the wildlife broadcaster.

The BBC marked the Children in Need Appeal 2020 on Friday 13th November and I hope that once again we will see a record amount of money being raised for this wonderful cause. Normally I would watch the One Show’s Rickshaw Challenge every day during the week and I normally find the experience both moving…
Those that know me know that I’m a Disney fan! I was watching frozen 2 and as I was watching it, I suddenly felt drawn to listen carefully to the lyrics of the song where Anna is in the cave alone and has just lost Olaf and Elsa I’ve seen dark before, but not like…

Tomorrow is Remembrance day. The picture is of our Poppy display at Elmsett, put up to help people remember those in our Armed Forces who have sacrificed so much in the past for us today. If you look at the display you will easily recognise the flowers as poppies, but none are identical. Some are…
I am so glad that during this lockdown we are allowed to go on a socially distanced walk with another individual who is not from our household. Just going on a short walk with someone can make a big difference to physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. It is a good way to use our time…
