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)
Inevitably, I am writing this thought for 2022 before Christmas when it is difficult to second guess what the next fortnight will hold. When I was a child, I remember being warned not to wish for the end of things I did not like for that was to wish away life. I take the point.…
1 Timothy 1 v 5.The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith When you set sail on the high seas you need to know three important facts: your location, your destination and your course. By referring to a map and using a compass…

Today’s thought for the day is brought to us by Rev Alan Taylor It was a still, silent night. The shepherd gazed into the embers of the fire, thinking how insignificant he felt in the whole scheme of things. He looked down from the hill to the little town below, only a few oil lamps…

We’re on our way to Bethlehem but who will show us the way? THE WISE MEN Journeys can be long or short, easy or difficult, slow or quick. You might travel alone or in a group. You might stop along the way. You might get lost. You might need help to find your way. In…
Singing gives me a lift even if we have to sing behind masks. It is so good to be able to go to Church again and sing amongst other people. At this time of year I find myself humming to the Christmas music being played in our shops. It is such a shame they just…
