HELLO FROM JEREMY
Dear Friends,
As I write this, Autumn seems to have arrived with a bang!! The temperature has dropped, and we are in the midst of an “unseasonably cold” snap with Arctic winds sweeping the country, and it being a lot colder than usual for this time of year.
The great feature in the Church’s calendar for early Autumn is our harvest festivals and living here in the heart of rural Norfolk, surrounded by working farms, the harvest festival has far more meaning than it does when living in the centre of a town.
One thing I am reminded of is that for our farmers the harvest is constant.  As once they have finished with one crop they then go onto the next, and the next, from corn to potatoes, to sugar beet, or whatever else they are farming.  Even livestock farmers have times when their product is more in demand, Easter for lambs, and Christmas for turkeys and beef.
As the harvest for the farmer is constant, so it should also be for the Christian community, working towards that day when God’s kingdom will be on earth as it is in heaven.
So from harvest we then move to our annual All Souls Service, where on the Sunday nearest All Souls day, we remember all those who have died and whose memories we hold dear.  During the service we read out the names of all those who have died within the last year and any others who we have been asked to remember.  After all the names have been read out, friends and relatives of the people we have named are invited to come forward and light a candle in their memory.
Our service this year will be taking place on Sunday 3rd November at 3.00pm at All Saints’ Church, Beeston Regis.

 
If you would like the name of any of your loved ones to be included in our commemoration, please write their names on one of the lists which will shortly appear at the back of each of our five churches or let me know, and please feel free to join us at the service.
All my love and blessings

Psalm 65. 9–13:
You visit the earth and water it,
you greatly enrich it;
the river of God is full of water;
you provide the people with grain,
for so you have prepared it.
You water its furrows abundantly,
settling its ridges,
softening it with showers,
and blessing its growth.
You crown the year with your bounty;
your wagon tracks overflow with richness.
The pastures of the wilderness overflow,
the hills gird themselves with joy,
the meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
the valleys deck themselves with grain,
they shout and sing together for joy.
 
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now and shall be for ever. Amen.

 
PRAYER CORNER
“Prayer is a plant, the seed of which is sown in the heart of every Christian. If it is well cultivated and nourished it will produce fruit, but if it is neglected, it will wither and die.”
Please pray--
  • For our government and for the world’s political leaders, that those who govern may be governed by God’s love and that the Holy Spirit may guide them to speak out for what is right and take action to build a better future.
  • For the nations of the world, scarred by hatred, strife and war; for all who are refugees, for all who have been driven out of their homes by violence or disaster.
  • For people throughout the world who struggle to get enough food and water – for those in countries where there is famine; for those who thirst in countries where there are droughts and water shortages; for those whose water supplies are contaminated.
  • For the Church throughout the world: that she may be a sign of God’s love for all people and a beacon of hope for all who are in need.
  • For our services across the Benefice that they will engage and connect with people in a special way; and for those members of our community who are not currently able to come to church in person asking that they will still feel that they belong.
  • For our Benefice and Parishioners, especially those who are suffering with their health; and the recently bereaved; and for everyone who is sick or afraid, bereaved or isolated; and we pray for all who support them. May God grant each of them peace and comfort, courage and perseverance.
  • For our Ministry Team, Churchwardens and members of the Parochial Church Councils.
  • For an increase in the financial giving to our Benefice churches.
