Weekly news for Sunday, 18th June 2023

Dear Friends,

A little word

What does it mean to be kind? to be compassionate? These are easy questions to ask, but not always easy questions to answer. Jesus teaches us to love God, and those around us, as we love ourselves.

So maybe this week, notice the ways in which people are kind to you, and see if you can do the same for others.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Paul, writing to the Ephesians

Things to pray for

  • For kindness towards those in need, from those who are able to help
  • For our planet, as we likely enter the hottest year on record
  • For Will and Lucy as they prepare to join us from July
