Is there enough Silence for the Word to be heard? T.S. Eliot
To a troubled world: peace from Christ. To a searching world: love from Christ. To a waiting world: hope from Christ.

Guard me and guide me, O God this day. Lead me in the way of truth and life. Bless my words and my actions. Send the Holy Spirit upon all that I do, in Jesus name. Amen.
Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, give rest to the weary, sustain the dying, calm the suffering, and pity the distressed; all for your love's sake, O Christ our Redeemer. Amen
Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of thy only Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
To a troubled world: peace from Christ. To a searching world: love from Christ. To a waiting world: hope from Christ.
Great to meet Bishop Rhiannon in Southampton today talking about synergy and opportunities between @CofEWinchester and @projectouchline
Set free, O Lord, the souls of your servants from all restlessness and anxiety. Give us your peace and power, and so keep us that, in all perplexity and distress, we may abide in you, upheld by your strength and stayed on the rock of your faithfulness; in Jesus name. Amen.
To a troubled world: peace from Christ. To a searching world: love from Christ. To a waiting world: hope from Christ.

God of life and love, whose risen Son called Mary Magdalene by name and sent her to tell of his resurrection to his apostles: in your mercy, help us, who have been united with him in this eucharist, to proclaim the good news that he is alive and reigns, now and for ever.
Do you have a gift for drawing others into faith? Do you have a passion for encouraging others with evangelistic giftings? Have you ever considered becoming a member of the College of Archbishops’ Evangelists? #fellowship #evangelism archbishopsevangelists.org
