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

Mark 8 verse 24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.” I was on my way to a Sunday evening service in West Suffolk and as I drove along, with very little traffic, I glanced over to my right and saw a line of trees against the edge of…
On the second day of our recent trip to Northumberland we planned to go to Ross Sands. Our host suggested this was the most beautiful beach in Northumberland, often deserted as it is only accessible after a walk through fields and sand dunes.

Have you ever travelled along an unfamiliar road and missed the sign telling you which direction to take? We recently spent a few days in Northumberland. Our host at the B&B we were staying in suggested a walk to a place called Cateran hole where there is a small opening in the ground with steps,…
Community gardening projects can be an effective part of missional work, fostering partnerships between the church and the communities. The participants grow their own vegetables and fruits, enhancing their access to healthy food. Regular gardening activities foster connections and address social isolation. Gardens contribute to local biodiversity, improve air quality, and promote sustainable practices. Individuals…
I received an email today from Google telling me that my account is half full so I decided that I would really need to delete some of my thousands of emails. This might seem like a simple job to many but for me there is a problem. I start to read all the emails before I delete…
