God of compassion, you are slow to anger, and full of mercy, welcoming sinners who return to you with penitent hearts: receive in your loving embrace all who come home to you, and seat them at your bountiful table, that, with all your children, they may feast with delight on all that satisfies the hungry heart. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Saviour, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

A message from Bruce Clark: Where’s Jan? Some in the Parish Family have been puzzled by the absence of Jan Jones, especially at the 7.30am service. A few weeks ago, totally unexpectedly, Jan moved to accommodation close to her family in Brisbane, without a chance to say good-bye. An involved parishioner for more than 25 years along with her late husband Alan, she shared her faith in many ways including on Parish Council, as coordinator of the Dorcas Group, in various home groups, and with Alan in the instigating of the placement of “the rock” (Matt 16. 18) in front of the church.
There will be an Easter card at the back of the church this Sunday and the next (6th April) if you wish to sign it to assure Jan of our ongoing thoughts and prayers.
