"We're delighted to announce that the final total for our virtual Coffee Morning is £690.00, raised on the day, with at least a further £150 (probably more) donated directly to Macmillan online. This is an outstanding amount and we thank everyone for their support. It was the first time we have attempted anything like this and it was a great success. as well as being fun ! Thank you all." Jackie Hancox.
A poem for these times -
Keep Stepping
Sometimes, we need to take a step that's very hard to do,
But going forward steadily, one step turns into two.
And sometimes when we look ahead the future's looking bleak,
But going forward steadily, we find the path we seek.
So take a step, a little step, and tiptoe if you must,
But never look too far ahead and learn to hope and trust.
Leave yesterday behind you now, this day has all you need,
So keep on stepping steadily - and know, you will succeed !

The Christianity.org.uk website
Following receipt of an email that Nick Stanyon, the West Midlands URC Synod Evangalist, has sent to all churches in the Synod (21/04/20) our Minister has requested that this link should be added to the website -
christianity.org.uk/
Christianity.org.uk run by the Christian Enquiry Agency, is now an independent agency, but has long been part of Churches Together In England. Visitors to the site can read a number of well written articles or watch short video that may answer their questions, or at least peak their interest. Currently one lead article is about the coronavirus, and another about ‘what is a Christian?’ There are many more. It’s worth a browse for yourself. Visitors can then ask questions, request a free copy of Luke’s Gospel, or find a church from the site.
A Prayer for Aston
O God, Creator of all things, thank you for Aston.
Thank you for our homes, our people, our shops, our schools, our amenities, our factories, our offices.
May this always be a place of peace and Godliness.
Keep evil and violence from our homes and streets.
Bring relief to those who suffer loneliness, ill health, rejection or any other kind of distress.
Prosper everything that promotes neighbourliness, friendship and goodwill.
Watch over all who live and work here.
Strengthen family life and bring blessings on young and old alike.
We pray this through Jesus Christ.
Amen.
