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)
I know that there are many false messages on Facebook but there are also some very good ones. I read this message a few days ago and it really appealed to me. Someone suggested that we repurpose old soup ladles into water bowls for bees and ladybirds. They suggest that you put some pebbles into…
Psalm 84:1,10 ‘How lovely is Your dwelling place. O Lord Almighty!’……. ‘Better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere.’ I was reminded of these verses this last Sunday. Firstly, at our morning service we were delighted that one of our congregation brought along her young granddaughter, as she sometimes does. I’m guessing…
Just over a year ago I wrote about the end of an era as our cherry tree had to be felled because it was diseased. I was upset then but did not anticipate the unintended consequence of there being more sunlight and space for the buddleia beside and beneath it. With the shade gone what…

I recently went to the Beer Festival in Stowmarket Museum of Food. There was a whole array of different beers, (wine, spirits and soft drinks as well). One of the beers I tasted was Heresy produced by Bishop Nick brewery. It got me to wondering what was the heresy committed by this clergyman. You will…

I’ve just returned from a weekend break in Norfolk, the highlight of which was a trip out to see the seals. I thought I would be squinting to catch sight of a few seals in the distance but was surprised and overwhelmed at the number and proximity of these calm and beautiful animals. Our guide…
Read Acts 6:7-16 When I was growing up in church at home, somehow, we never sang John Mason’s magnificent hymn, ‘how shall I sing that majesty.’ (Singing the Faith 53). The first time I ever heard it was on a recording of a songs of praise service where it was sung by a large congregation…
