Prayer
God,
our light and our salvation: illuminate our lives, that we may see your
goodness in the land of the living, and looking on your beauty may be changed
into the likeness of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
Collect for the Twentieth Sunday
after Trinity
O
Almighty and most merciful God,
of thy bountiful goodness keep us, we beseech thee, from all things that may
hurt us; that we, being ready both in body and soul, may cheerfully accomplish
those things that thou wouldest have done; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
We are very grateful to Tina Stirling

“I
am a retired priest living in Stone.
Until two and a half years ago I was the incumbent of the Bernwode
Benefice for fifteen years and Area Dean for Aylesbury for five of those years. Before that I was curate and associate
minister in St. Mary's, Thame. Now I am
an emeritus honorary canon of Christ Church, Oxford and Clergy Retirement
Officer for Buckingham Archdeaconry as well as an assessor for the folders
which curates in training are required to produce indicating their competency!”
Friday 16th October Unfortunately the
Committee organising the Harvest Supper in NW have decided to cancel the event
