Reflection
The House of God
The following prayer was found written over the door of a church:
“Lord, make the door of this house wide enough
to receive all who need human love and fellowship.
Narrow enough to shut out all envy, pride and strife.
Make its threshold smooth enough to be
no stumbling block to children, nor to straying feet.
Make this house a house of prayer
and a gateway to your Kingdom."
Second collection
There will be a second collection next Sunday, 14th March, for Nugent Care.
Please put your offerings in the separate basket at the back of Church.
The next second collection will be on 2nd April (Good Friday) for the Holy Places.
