"Let both of them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn." (v. 30)
A prayer that God's story be our story
Story-telling God,
as you gathered the crowds in Galilee,
and stretched the imaginations of the affluent and defeated,
enter our world today.
Where the lonely stare at screens,
and deception comes via glamourous lies,
when we cultivate the ethos of insiders and outsiders –
speak into our hearts the depths of your love story.
A story of grace, hope and beautiful mercy.
A story of joy-filled expectation.
A story of new beginnings.
A story of hope.
Enable us to make love real.
May your story be our story.
Our end, our beginning and our whole life’s journey. Amen.
Helen Hollands, District Chair, East Anglia District

(Breathe out) That we might build each other up.
