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)
Recently a group of my friends had a few days holiday together. They all had a wonderful time enjoying the good weather, visiting various places and relaxing in each other’s company. During the penultimate afternoon 5 of them decided to enjoy a swim in the sea. They were able to stand up with the sea…
So, I took a look…. Some items must be there or they perish – ice lollies, ice cream etc. Others are there because we weren’t going to eat them straight away so it’s a holding place. Buying in bulk or taking advantage of offers means a surplus that needs to be accommodated. However, some things…
In today’s reading [Colossians 1:21-23], we find Saint Paul writing about alienation from God because of what he calls our ‘evil behaviour’ (NIV(UK)). The way we think, act, live, our instincts and everything are a problem in our relationship with God. We are our own worst enemies in making it difficult to see and hear…
One of the most interesting parts of the Olympics for me is that occasionally I will accidentally start to watch a sport which I was not planning on viewing and know nothing about and discover it fascinating.

Recently we attended a family wedding. It’s lovely to see relatives that you don’t see often – especially the children. I was delighted that one of the little girls had with her the blanket I had knitted for her when she was born. I was told that she takes it everywhere, well I’m not sure…
The Prayer Handbook points out that today is kept, in the Catholic Church particularly, as the Assumption of The Blessed Virgin Mary. It is the day when the mother of Jesus ‘fell asleep’ and of her bodily assumption into heaven. That language is outside my comfort zone and for years would have deterred me from…
Today’s thought for the day is brought to us by Rev Claire Jones Something to read The Lord sets prisoners free, the Lord gives sight to the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the righteous. The Lord watches over the foreigner and sustains the fatherless and the widow,…
Though not an avid watcher of the 2024 Olympics, I am interested in how Team GB is getting on in the various categories. There have surprises and disappointments, especially for any contestant who has trained hard but failed to meet their personal expectations. On social media, there are lots of “thumbs up” for those who…
