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

You don’t have to be a staunch royalist to appreciate all that she has done over the last seventy years and still continues…
I have recently been sorting and clearing out some of my many books. My late husband was an incorrigible collector of books but he never got rid of any. Do any of you know someone like that?! During this process I have discovered some treasures and I hope to share some with you over the…
