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

By Peter Paul Rubens – Art UK, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=91917906 It is likely that at some time you will have heard the phrase, ‘A Damascus Road experience.’ In everyday usage this means a crucial point in life where ‘a profound change or reversal of ideas or beliefs occurs.’ There are few of us who can…
For most of my life, I have frequently heard preachers ask questions, without expecting an answer. More recently I have heard members of the congregation call out answers. Although I do not expect any answers the heading may make you think. An elderly Christian motorist was travelling on unfamiliar roads and looking for a road…
Today’s thought for the day is brought to us by churches of Burkina Faso Resources for Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2024 (ctbi.org.uk) What must I do to inherit eternal life?” A lawyer stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” (Lk 10:25) This crucial question…
I recently bought some garden lights. The idea is that they are solar powered – charging up during the day and then automatically lighting up at night. 48 hours of sunlight will result in the lights working for around 6 hours. As they are going to be needed in June, my hope is that they…
We hear so often about all the negative aspects of social media and some people see these websites as being evil, but they have opened a window to me that I value. One of the groups I belong to is “Calverley Memories” the page about the village in West Yorkshire where I grew up. I…
Today’s thought for the day is brought to us by Anna Porter The other day I was talking with a friend and discussing the cold weather and both of us were complaining about the wind. She told me about something she had been told when she had moved to Felixstowe many years ago. A lady…
