Latest Happenings at Warwick Methodist Church
Letter from Rev Barbara Greenwood 26th May
Plus don’t forget Rev Barbara’s request in last weeks letter
we would like to continue to witness to the people of Warwick that the church is alive and well, so David and I plan to put a new display up in the church windows for Pentecost. If you can find some red, orange or yellow paper (or white paper that you can colour), please draw round your hand and cut it out, write your name on, and either stick it through the church letterbox, or mine (101 West Street, CV34 6AH), or post it to me. You can also leave them with the Withams. The deadline is next Thursday, 28th May. Why not do several hands? The more the merrier, and the more powerful the witness!
Have you done your’s yet??

God of heaven and earth, in these times of isolation, apart from loved ones distant from friends away from neighbours thank you that there is nothing in all of creation, not even coronavirus, that is able to separate us from your love. And may your love that never fails continue to be shared through the kindness of strangers looking out for each other, for neighbours near and far all recognising our shared vulnerability, each of us grateful for every breath, and willing everyone to know the gift of a full and healthy life. Keep us all in your care. Amen.
Thank you Liz for forwarding this prayer
