Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life.... 

I believe firmly that we should be reliant on God - rather than self-reliant - this aspect of relinquishing control does also mean living on the edge each day as we wait to see what God has in store for us, moment by moment.

A Happy Christmas to you all.

Jeremy writes about VICTORY....

“We are more than conquerors through him who loved us” says Paul in Romans 8:37.   I’ve just been watching a programme featuring Canon Andrew White (the   Vicar of Baghdad) who makes this his theme almost everywhere he goes.  Few have known more than he the trials and tribulations of ministry in the most extreme of environments - yet he remains positive, joyful and calm constantly quoting those wonderful words....

"Prayer"   As followers of Jesus Christ, are we praying as he instructed? "Father, Thy Kingdom come."  This time, between Ascension-tide and Pentecost, is a time for focussed prayer. All Saints will be open on Wed 5th and Thurs 6th June, 9am - 8pm, with 'prayer stations' to help us pray, (and other Sanderstead churches will be open for prayer too, see pages 3-5) ..... I really do hope that many will take time out of busy lives to come and pray. Let's not imagine we have to be experts; let's just do what Jesus asked - pray! It works.

"Unity" In the Acts of the Apostles (Chapter 4 v 32) we read that, ‘all the believers were one in heart and mind.’

Team Newsletter April 2019 31 March 2019

"Prayer, like our Lenten journey, is truly "the heart in pilgrimage". That journey takes us through times of darkness and pain, but ultimately transposes into a different tune of the "softness, and peace, and joy, and love, and bliss" which we experience on Easter Sunday. May God bless you all as you continue your journey..."
