Every 3 months The John Porter Community Fund donates to local causes. Our latest round of funds supports local churches which have seen donations drop due to Covid-19. See our website for full details @OlasStourbridge@SaintJamesUK@StMichaelUK@StMOswin https://t.co/OCR77MboT3
During Ascensiontide, St Mary's, Oldswinford in Stourbridge constructed a church out of bamboo on the front lawn and invited people to come and attach ribbons with prayers or phrases written on them. These formed the focus of the parish Zoom service last Sunday morning.
Please join me in praying for all who take on responsibility of governance & parliamentary democracy @10DowningStreet succeeding PM @Theresa_May. Give them wisdom, insight & concern for the common good.
Give us this 📅 our daily 🍞.
And forgive us our 😔,
as we forgive those who 😔 against us.
And 👣 us not into 😵;
but deliver us from 😈.
For thine is the 🤴🏿,
the 💪🏼 and the 🙌🏾,
for ever and ever.
🙏🏿

@BishopWorcester Following several incidents of damage and theft and in response to suggestions and crowd funding from our community we have installed CCTV so that we can keep the church open as much as possible. Have received much positive feedback from people who found the church open.
We think #Ascension of Jesus is about his going away from us.
It’s really about him coming closer to us than we dare imagine.
We are not to gawp at heaven looking for him, but instead look into our neighbours’ & enemies’ eyes to see Christ already there so that #ThyKingdomCome
Help me raise £1500 to help fund additional security measures for the church building to enable the building to be kept open during the week.. Please #donate on @justgiving and RT. Thanks! https://t.co/AhQF3gHvyd

We shared our first #GodWithUs reflection yesterday. You can sign up to receive messages throughout #Advent and #Christmas at https://t.co/zESck0lDXZ https://t.co/MayOhOpNFC
Advent is listening to what can barely be heard – the sound of the heartbeat of an unborn child. Listening this #Advent, what can you hear that everyone around you ignores? What voices are silent or unheard around you? #GodWithUs
