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)
Today’s thought for the day is brought to us by Rev Claire Jones www.christianaid.org.uk Something to read Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his…
My wife and I were enjoying a Skype call with our daughter in the USA when suddenly her young son came into view, holding a piece of paper in his hand. He asked his Mum if he could put it in the shredder and she replied that he could, but did he realise that once…
How often do you hear or say the Lord’s Prayer? How often do we really reflect on its meaning? The Lord’s Prayer was given by Jesus to his disciples as an illustration of how they and we should pray. It includes all the elements of prayer- praise, confession, prays for the world and for our…
Thessalonians 5 v 11 says, “So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.” I first started writing a Thought for the Day in March 2020 just as we were going into Lockdown. It was meant to be a word of encouragement to a few close friends as we…
Wherever I have been this week, shop windows have been covered in hearts – mostly red but one phone shop particularly had blue ones. Love is in the air. I was reminded of my Dad singing the good old hymn, ’Jesus loves me, this I know’. He wasn’t a church goer in his later years…
Recently, we paid a visit to Rochester Cathedral. It is one of those places we had not visited before so we learned another few lines of our country’s rich history. Something else was surprising. We have become used to war memorials being adorned with wreathes all the year round. However, at Rochester, inside the visitors’…

In June last year, my wife and I spent four days based at a hotel near Chester and on our first day we visited that lovely City. We had two unsuccessful attempts to use the Hop-on & Hop-off facility despite using the printed map and checking the timetable at one of the stops. After some…
My son recently sent one of those messages, (we’ve probably all had them), “mum, what are you doing in May?” How would you respond to this? Excited? “Why what are you suggesting we do?” Cynical? “Why, what do you want?” Needless to say it was the latter. “How would you like to look after Bill…
I don’t know whether you have noticed, but there seems to be a poll each month showing the decline in Church attendance, less people having any religious belief, and more Churches closing yearly.
