Let us pray
 
Loving God
In gratitude
In deep gratitude
For this moment
We give ourselves to you.
 
You have made us one
With all your people
In heaven and on earth.
You have fed us with the bread of life,
And renewed us   for your service.
And so we ask that our daily living
May be part of the life of your kingdom,
And that our love may be your love
Reaching out into the life of the world;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
 
                                    Amen.
Faith working in the realities of life

It would not have been much of a table if there were no stories to go with it.

Loving God, open our ears and eyes. Speak to our individual needs, our hopes, our cities, we pray
Amen

​Bible reading plan
 oHere's a simple bible reading plan for the next few weeks taken from Janie Stuart's favourite Bible commentator-Dale Bruner. He calls it making a home with Jesus. (John 15). His suggestion is that we read a a book a month, reading a chapter a day and think about what we have read and what is happening in our lives. Since some books are have fewer chapters than days in the month, then you either get to have a few days holiday or spend time chewing over passages that caught your attention in that particular book.
His scheme for the next few months would be:
March: Luke 1-24
April: John 1-21
May: Acts 1-28
June: Romans: 1-16
We are part way through the gospel of Luke in the church so I would suggest the following:
March 22 to April 12 Luke 10 -24
April 13 to May 3: John 1-21
May: Acts 1-28 which would gets us back onto Dale's plan but let us read and reflect on the Easter story at Easter.
