Weekly news for Sunday, 25th June 2023

Dear Friends,

A little word

Goodness me, is it Thursday already?

The words “good” and “goodness” are used so frequently in our lives that it almost loses its meaning.

It’s such a simple idea – and really, it means being holy. Goodness is a quality that reaches as far within us as it shines out from us. It is holiness in action.

“Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father”

James

Things to pray for

  • That goodness would be something we see more of in the world around us
  • For those affected by the increasing cost of living
  • For people struggling with extreme weather
