If you would like some background on the readings and points to ponder please go to https://www.methodist.org.uk/our-faith/the-bible/a-word-in-time/  

You may want to read all three elements at once or others may prefer to space them out during the day – breakfast, dinner and tea. What works for you?  Some may need to set an alarm on their phone so that they don’t forget, while others will not be able to do anything else until readings are read and prayers shared. You will find a pattern that works for you and gives a framework for your day.

Christian Aid Week 10th – 16th May
Under the current circumstances, the usual Christian Aid Week events cannot go ahead. The need, however, is greater than ever.  Christian Aid have created  a vibrant, virtual Christian Aid Week  online with activities, reflections and a virtual Christian Aid Week service.

During Christian Aid Week
It’s more important than ever that we come together as a community to worship and to share fun and fellowship. That’s why during Christian Aid Week we will be live-streaming worship each day, and hosting a fun daily quiz to join and raise funds. Sign up using the links below to take part.
