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)
One of things I love is a beautiful sunset. (I rarely get up in time to see the sun rise), or to gaze at the night sky and try and imagine the distances the stars are from us. I was half listening to the Today programme on radio 4 two weeks ago when an item…
As I write this soon after Christmas but looking forward to the start of spring, I wonder what we look forward to. February often seems to be the month that I least look forward to as it frequently seems to be dull, cold and wet with Christmas and the New Year celebrations seemingly left a…
On Friday we had a Preparation Bible Study for the World Day of Prayer Service. We studied Psalm 139 and the Rev Paulson, who led the study, gave us much to think about. Verse 7 says, “I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence!” I have the key…
You know how sometimes you try to avoid something only to find that God won’t let it go and basically, He throws it in Your face so often that You have to give in albeit ever so reluctantly? Well, that’s how it’s been with me recently and mud. Yes, God just keeps throwing it at…

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…
