Reflection
Lord Jesus, touch our eyes so that we may see the signs of your presence in our lives and in the world. Touch our ears so that we may hear your word. Touch our tongues so that we may profess our faith. Touch our hands so that we may give and receive. Touch our feet so that we may walk in your paths. Touch our minds so that we may understand your ways. Touch our wills so that they may be in tune with your will. Touch our hearts so that we may bring your love to our brothers and sisters, to the praise and glory of God. Amen.
Second collections
On the weekend of 17th/18th January there will be a second collection for SPUC, the annual collection for the work they do.
On the weekend of 24th/25th January there will be a second collection for LEPRA, the society that helps those in our world who suffer from Leprosy. That Sunday is World Leprosy Day, and I promised them I would have a collection when they asked me back in July.
My apologies that these are coming so soon after Christmas
