About Prayer
Prayer is at the centre of the spiritual life of a Christian. It is about connecting and communicating with God.  There are as many ways of praying as there are individuals. Our personalities and life experiences influence how we pray.  Each week the AFS shares a new and different prayer resource for your reflection.

From the Anglican Fellowship of Prayer this week.

Christ is risen

Christ is risen!
          This makes no sense. Only joy.

Christ is risen!
         There is no explanation. Only wonder.

Christ is risen!
         Don't try to understand.
         Only be grateful.

Christ is risen!
         Some say it's just a story.
         Let it be your story.
Deep Blessings

Joyous Time of Year 
May the glory
and the promise
of this joyous time of year
bring peace
and happiness to you
and those you hold most dear.

And may Christ,
Our Risen Saviour,
always be there by your side
to bless you
most abundantly 
and be your loving guide.

A PRAYER FOR THE PARISH
O God, our heavenly Father, bestow upon our parish the rich blessings of your loving kindness; that we may prove ourselves a people of your favour and glad to do your will. Make us alive to all the opportunities and responsibilities of our time. Keep us open to all who need our love and fellowship and inspire us with a vision of a world won for Jesus our Lord.
