Prize-Giving Assembly Friday 14th July 2017 Wit With Christ we grow in faith and understanding.

Let us Pray Be silent. Be still. Alone. Empty before your God. Say nothing. Ask nothing. Be silent. Be still. Let your God look upon you. That is all.

God knows. God understands God knows. God understands. God loves you with an enormous love and only wants to look upon you with that generous love. Quiet. Be still. Let your God love you.

Father, we gather in your presence in prayer and praise Father,  we gather in your presence in prayer and praise.  We thank you for our health and happiness,  for forgiveness and healing,  for our talents, and for our friends.  We thank you for the wonderful world you have given us to explore and to use to your greater glory. 

We thank you for the gift of Jesus Christ, your Son, who died that we might have life and live it to the full.  Send your Spirit to accompany us on our daily journey.  Give us wisdom that we may find you in all things.  Give us understanding that we may learn our lessons well. 

Give us compassion that we may show your face to those we meet Give us compassion that we may show your face to those we meet. Give us generosity that we may share the gifts you have given us. Give us faith that we may have confidence in ourselves. Above all give us love that we may bring joy into the lives of those around us. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

The Little Way “Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, Here by a smiling look, There by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.”

The Parable of the Mustard Seed “What can we say the kingdom of God is like? It is like a mustard seed which, at the time of its sowing in the soil, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet once it is sown, it grows into the biggest shrub of them all and puts out big branches so that the birds of the air can shelter in its shade.” Gospel of Mark 4:30-32
