Judith Tod & Jane Gomes
Gathering in this place where heaven and earth whisper greeting;
in this house where the High King of Heaven comes to meet us;
in the shelter of this place, we kindle lights of hope for the world.
We stand at the turning of the seasons,
looking back on what has been and ahead to what is to come.
We thank you, Lord, for all that is good.
We place in your hands what we need to leave behind
and turn to the path you lay before us.
Light of God, break through our darkness;
breathe through our lives.
Shine on a world longing for life.

the winter season who would still appreciate attending
worship. If you are able, please consider transporting some
of our local and Wickwire Place friends. If you’re unable to
offer a drive on Sunday, perhaps you could accommodate the
occasional errand. Please contact the office if you’re able to
be part of this ministry.
The new cards from the Deacons are now available. These are beautiful cards
