Against the Tide

Good Friday, 29th March. 7pm in the Little Shelford Memorial Hall.

A screening of the John Lennox film "Against the Tide". A travelogue, an examination of modern science, an excursion into history, an autobiography, and more. But at heart, it is the story of one man’s daring stand against the tide of contemporary atheism and its drive to relegate belief in God to society’s catalogue of dead ideas. Ticktes £3, please book at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/against-the-tide-tickets-839237009487

This has been organised by Liz Halliday 




A Prayer for Ukraine

God of peace and justice, we pray for the people of Ukraine today. We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons. We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them. We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions. Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them. We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen

 Archbishop Justin Welby &Archbishop Stephen Cottrell
