Another poem by our resident poet, Mair Tovey, but this time on a sadder note as she has written this in memory of her dog, Prince, who passed away a few days ago:

I stand and stare at the world down there
wishing I could do what I did.
But my legs don't work, my paws they hurt,
I'm no longer that frisky kid.

On the grass I lay, and it makes my day
'cos I've found my bark and growl.
she'll bring me a treat of salmon, or meat
or maybe a tasty fowl.

I stand and stare at the road down there
and think of the trips we've had.
I can't do a lot, but a good life I've got
so things are not all that bad.
Rest in peace Prince. 2/.6/ 2012 -28/5/2026

Our grateful thanks to Carys and Jac Mathias who braved the hot weather to paint the entrance gates of St. Peter's Church black with gold arrow rail heads and finials.

Gracious and loving God, as we begin this season of Lent, we come quietly before you. Still our hearts, slow our steps and soften our spirits.

Show us what needs to be laid down, and what needs to be taken up.

Give us courage to face our sin, humility to receive your mercy, and grace to walk in newness of life.

Create in us clean hearts, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.

Lead us through the wilderness with Jesus, that we may share fully in the joy of his resurrection.

We offer you, this season, our prayers, our fasting, our listening and our lives.

In the name of Jesus Christ, our Saviour and our hope. Amen.
Prayer by J.John
