MEETING PLACE
Please Note The Meeting Place Will Be Closed On Wednesday, 3rd November And Will Reopen On 10 November.
At last, the COP26 Climate Talks get underway in Glasgow this week.
This Conference is about subject matter that is absolutely vital to the future – ultimately to the future of the entire planet, but most imminently to the most vulnerable people on earth, the poor and the powerless. I can’t think of any moral issue that should engage us more than this, and I urge you to keep it in your prayers and to use any opportunity you are offered to help make things better, or at least to slow down the decline of our planet. We owe it to the next generation.
COP26 PRAYER
Loving God, We praise your name with all you have created.
You are present in the whole universe, and in the smallest of creatures.
We acknowledge the responsibilities you have placed upon us as stewards of your creation.
May the Holy Spirit inspire all political leaders at COP26 as they seek to embrace the changes needed to foster a more sustainable society.
Instil in them the courage and gentleness to implement fairer solutions for the poorest and most vulnerable, and commit their nations to the care of Our Common Home.
We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ your Son. Amen

CHURCH SYNOD
Larissa and Rob O’Halloran, our parish delegates in the World Synod process, compiled a brief questionnaire which they ask you to complete and return to the church by next weekend. If you took and completed the form last week, we ask you to place it in the box in the porch. Please accept our thanks. If you would like to take a form away with you today then you are most welcome to do so.
