Huge thanks to everyone who donated to the @Tesco Winter Food Collection in Truro last week.
We collected 435kg tonnes of food – more than 700 meals – as well as £35 in cash donations.
Many thanks to Claudia and all the @Tesco staff, our volunteers and to all you lovely shoppers. This will make a real difference this winter to people in our community on the lowest incomes. 💚💚

So, you decide you need to make some changes to your church, project or organisation.
Naturally, there are doubters.
There are always those who would rather pull up the duvet and keep everything the way it was.
But change really is inevitable.
So, you need to demonstrate that change is worth making.
Easier said than done, right?
Take a look at some tips to help you measure change, easily. bit.ly/3ZhsJEm

Did ‘The Enlightenment’ really happen?
The Enlightenment has become weaponised over recent years. Numerous public figures, not all of them historians, have lined up to state defiantly that it needs protecting from… postmodernity? populism? religion?… take your pick.
But what is – or was – The Enlightenment? What are we being called to defend here? Is The Enlightenment actually a thing? Was it even “a thing” in the first place? And if not, when did we start talking about it, and why?
Tune in to this week’s episode of #ReadingOurTimes where Nick Spencer speaks with Professor of History, Jonathan Clark.

Assisted Dying Prayer…🙏
On Friday, after weeks of fierce and passionate debate, MPs began their formal scrutiny of the bill that would allow terminally ill adults expected to die within six months to seek help to end their own life.
Thanks to Gavin Calver for this prayer. Please write yours in the comments section…

A Prayer to mark 1000 days of war in Ukraine from Rev Dr Inderjit Bhogal, Honorary President of the Fellowship of Reconciliation
UKRAINE/RUSSIA 1000 DAYS IN WAR
Holy God
We hold before you all nations trapped
In deepening, endless and relentless conflict, violence and war.
We share the cries of people pleading before you,
How long, dear God of justice and mercy, how long?
Enough, enough, mercy, mercy, why should anyone have to be killed in war anywhere, anymore?
We join with them and plead for an end to the destruction and deaths of conflict, violence and war.
In hunger people long for bread, we pray for an end to investment in the manufacture of bombs and all weapons of harm, and investment instead in instruments of healing.
In thirst people long for a sip of clean water, give us all a hunger and thirst for righteousness and justice.
As homes are destroyed, people seeking sanctuary long for human warmth, bring us all to build communities of welcome and hospitality.
With people unjustly detained, strengthen us all to seek amnesty and freedom.
Naked we come to you, clothe us all to stand up and speak up for peace and reconciliation, and train for war no more.
Bless us and all people with the gift of your deepening, endless and relentless peace.
In the Name of Christ.
Amen

HURRICANE PRAYERS
“Strong and powerful God, you who can pour love and balm upon the most fearful and restless of hearts, we call on you.
We cry out to you in the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, knowing that the 2024 hurricane season is ongoing in the Caribbean and North America. In the midst of torrential rains and the fury of the wind, your still small voice is hard to hear.
In the wake of destruction and during ongoing recovery efforts, we ask that you be a very present help in times of danger and distress. Show up in those who are part of search, rescue, recovery and provision of necessities.
For those who are cleaning up from Helene and Milton while simultaneously preparing for potential future storms, we cry to you for strength, resilience, and safety.
We pray for peace in the communities devastated by these hurricanes, and as people rebuild their homes and businesses in the aftermath of water and wind, fear and grief. O God, bring comfort and hope.
We pray for Shalom, the complete wholeness of healing, helping and deep peace that fuels justice. May it begin when neighbours lean on neighbours, and may the world’s attention and intervention bring comfort and relief.
Amen.”

A prayer following tragedy in the English Channel 🙏
We believe
God cares for every child created, that every life matters to God.
No one dies unknown by God, everyone has value in God’s eyes.
The very hairs of each of our heads are counted.
We are all loved and precious to God.
So, we pray for the bereaved as they mourn their loved ones.
We pray that those gangs who smuggle people and treat them as disposable commodities will meet justice and be defeated. May your Kingdom come. Amen.
