Charities

As a congregation we support many local and National charities.

Each month we have a Communion collection for a different charity, all of which are well supported. This year we added West Kirby Disabled Swimming Club and the local Riding for the Disabled to our list.

Nationally we support Fairtrade, Christian Aid and Commitment for Life.

 July Prayer Reflection

Reflection: Journeying together over the summer months

Written by: Jess Foster, Head of Church Engagement

Reflection

Journeying together over the summer months

Hi, I'm Jess. I am Head of Church Engagement at Trussell and it's my month to record the prayer for you all. It's very hot where I am. I hope you're all surviving the heat and finding ways to enjoy being outside and stay cool.

I think maybe because of the sun, Psalm 121 has been very much on my mind over the last few weeks. So, I wanted to share the message version of it with you all, as a prayer for us this summer as we work together to end the need for food banks, to love our neighbour and to seek to encounter God in everyone we meet.

Prayer

Psalm 121

Let us pray…

 I look up to the mountains;                                                                               does my strength come from mountains?                                                         No, my strength comes from God,                                                                   who made heaven, and earth, and mountains.                                                    He won’t let you stumble,                                                                              your Guardian God won’t fall asleep.                                                               Not on your life! Israel’s                                                                             Guardian will never doze or sleep.                                                                 God’s your Guardian, right at your side to protect you —                       Shielding you from sunstroke, sheltering you from moonstroke.                    God guards you from every evil,  he guards your very life.                             He guards you when you leave and when you return,                                        he guards you now, he guards you always.  

Amen, and thank you.

Let us pray…

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled,
as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen.
