Prayer for changing of the seasons
Creator God,
on this day of the month we are reminded that the seasons move,
from summer to autumn, from winter to spring.
As I see the signs of death,
so others elsewhere in this world see new life.
In my times of joy may I perceive others in sorrow,
in my sadness may I recognise another’s happiness.
May we all know your unchanging presence,
whatever the day or the season
in the year or in life.
In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen
Paul Davis, Synod Secretary, North Lancashire District

The
Workers’ Educational Association will be putting on an Art Course for us starting

Retirement Programme for anyone over 50 and it is free. If you are under 50 and

WEA CRAFT COURSE .. SILK PAINTING
Starting
on Monday 26th April from 2.00-4.00 pm there will be a
craft course organised by the Workers’ Educational Association. The first five
weeks will be silk painting and then there will be opportunity to continue
either with silk painting or a different craft for another five weeks. This
course is offered free under their Active Retirement Programme. There will be a
small weekly charge for materials but this will be kept to a minimum as far as
possible. We need a minimum number of 8 people and the maximum number is 15. I
expect the uptake for this to be high so it will be on a first come first
served basis. Please contact me as soon as possible if you would like to
attend.
