Dear Friends
I hope you were able to keep up with things with the hiccup on the email version. Technology grrr!
Do please also check in with the facebook page www.facebook.com/ccpitsmoor/ and website www.pitsmoor.church/ during the week as things do change!
A little word
Your word is a lantern to my feet and a light upon my path. Psalm 119.105
Some people think of there being one right path to find and follow. Others think in terms of different paths with the same final destination. Psalm 119 is a beautiful poetic meditation on the word of God. I wonder if the point of likening the word to a lamp is that it is portable. The word is more a torch with all its mobility as opposed to fixed static streetlights. The times we find ourselves on a dodgy path are precisely the moments we need that illumination. Jesus, the light of the word, is alongside us, wherever we find ourselves.
Things to pray for
- Give thanks for those times you have seen the light in dark places.
- for our ‘twinned’ deanery of Hallam.
- for countries trying to live with the effects of climate change.
