"I liked the response and thinking about my role in this broken world. This morning on a run on the Downs I was lucky enough to see this lovely scene in a hesitant morning sunrise".

Happy New Year 2026.
Today I received £500 from Grove Green Tesco, having put St Paul's name down awhile ago, in the community, "Books & Games" corner. The money will be ringfenced for St Paul's Toddler group that currently meet on the fourth Friday of every month 9:30. Thank you Grove Green Tesco.

After the devastation that hurricane Melissa has caused in the Caribbean, particularly to the peoples of Jamaica, the slow, painful tidy up begins. A country whose infrastructure was already unmatched in comparison to the UK and US, has now faced absolute decimation. Thank you for your prayers thus far. Please remember Jamaica in a year, two or even five years from now as it aims climbs out of this unprecedented climate change shaking. Pray that help offered to rebuild and improve infrastructure by foreign countries is without strings. Aid without future bo***ge. Thank you. 🙏🏾🙏🙏🏻🙏🏽

I walk my dog Buddy in this green area. At times the days can seem long, dismal and grey. Yet there is a glimpse of hope on the horizon. Phil Wickham's song, Living Hope is a testament to that.
How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation, I turned to heaven
And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness, Your loving kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished, the end is written
Jesus Christ, my living hope.

May your day be blessed, focus just on today and allow tomorrow to worry about itself. Have a great day X

Hello everyone. This is my first of many to come postings on St Paul's page. I'm Reverend Claude, the Priest in Charge of St Paul's Maidstone, since 24th March 2025.
Yesterday the Bubble Church team and I had the opportunity to be a part of both KS1 and KS2 harvest assemblies at Sandling School.
The children loved the puppets as much as the puppets loved being there.

Prayer of the day

Heavenly Father, your Son battled with the powers of darkness, and grew closer to you in the desert: help us to use these days to grow in wisdom and prayer that we may witness to your saving love in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen
