Sunday! “The joy of the Lord is my strength” (Nehemiah 8:10) is a verse that resonates deeply with those who seek refuge and protection in God during challenging times.

Our Sunday Carol service was a lovely moment, where the Nativity was retold and we decorated some mini Christmas trees as part of the interactive worship format. Thank you to the Bootons and Rachel for leading.

Wishing you a Blessed and heartwarming Christmas and looking forward to the continual growth of the Church in 2026.

Thank you to everyone that has supported the church. Remember, we have a service every 2nd and 4th Sunday at 15:00, starting in January.

“The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”
— Numbers 6:24–26 (NIV)

The sun is streaming through the vestry window. I am reminded of that first dawn depicted in Genesis 1:16: "God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night."

This Sunday is our Carol service at 15:00. Come and join in the merriment of the season and enjoy a tea and coffee afterwards.

A very bustling and wholesome Christmas Tree Light festival today. So many families popped into the church to enjoy a hot drink, a mince pie and some early Christmas cheer.

Thought I'd add some of the lovely faces that attended our coffee morning earlier. A warm and welcoming get-together as always, with much mirth and good conversation. Thanks to Susan, Yvonne, Alison, David, Sue, Gwyn, Chris, Bob and Elaine! We raised another £12.52, that will be added to the total and subdivided to all the charitable causes that we have supported in the recent past.

Life-Light 2025: Day 13 - Giving thanks to our Creator God

Like me, you have probably noticed that this autumn there has been an abundance of fruit on the trees (much of it now fallen) and carpets of nuts on the ground. Combined with the golden colours of autumnal leaves this has resulted in a spectacular autumnal display. The sheer abundance of ‘fruits’ this year is attributable to perfect climatic conditions, sometimes called a ‘Mast’ year which occurs every four years or so. This is nature’s way of renewing itself. There is plenty to go around and far too much for human, animal and bird consumption resulting in surplus seeds rooting themselves and given the right conditions, the growth of new plants. In time, given the right conditions, a boost to biodiversity.

During the golden days of Autumn, I have taken opportunities to walk and enjoy nature’s abundance. Each season holds special resonance for me but Autumn is particularly meaningful. It brings some warmth, mellow sunshine and an abundance of colour. As poet John Keats aptly described it the ‘Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.’ Whilst walking, I take time to observe the wonder of creation and prayerfully reflect on God’s provision and his purpose for my life. It becomes for me a time when I pray and listen too. The picture above was taken on one such walk, along a canal near to my home in Warwickshire. The hymn by Fred Pratt, ‘For the fruits of His creation’ came to mind. The hymn gives thanks to God for his creation but goes on to raise awareness of our responsibility to those in need and the nurturing and harvesting of spiritual fruits in our faith journey.

For the fruits of his creation,
thanks be to God.

For his gifts to every nation,
thanks be to God.

For the ploughing, sowing, reaping,
silent growth while we are sleeping,
future needs in earth’s safekeeping,
thanks be to God.

Autumn is a time to say thankyou but also to prayerfully reflect. As we see the ‘produce’ of God’s creation and the resulting provision of our physical needs and those of the natural world too it is important to express our appreciation for the beauty of creation. We should not take this for granted, being mindful of those that have not experienced such a bountiful harvest due to environmental change, economic uncertainty or conflict disruption. We are stewards of God’s creation and should acknowledge our role in taking responsibility for its care.

I encourage you to take a prayerful walk (if you are able). Give thanks and celebrate the bounty, craftsmanship and purpose of the earth that is around us. Give thanks for God’s provision and pray that as we leave Autumn and move forward into Winter, our spiritual journey will reflect the fruitfulness of the Holy Spirit which in turn will be a blessing to others.

We bless you,
God of Seed and Harvest
And we bless each other
That the beauty of this world
And the love that created it
Might be expressed though our lives
And be a blessing to others
Now and always. Amen

Another lovely day in Narborough! The Remembrance Service brought another moment of real fellowship on Sunday afternoon.

As we near the middle of the month, we now look forward to Advent, Light Up Narborough, The Nativity and our Carol Service on Sunday, the 14th of December. In the meantime, the open invitation stands for every Thursday's coffee morning from 11:00 till 12:30. I've had the real pleasure of meeting so many new faces from the community during these routine events.

I'm also delighted for the opportunity to read lovely Bible stories to the toddlers from Robjohns Nursery every week. Never so much does the spirit speak so candidly as when one or more are together in His name!
