Prayer
Heavenly Father,
We pray for all those who feel “at risk” today; for those people of faith, who are downtrodden and persecuted. Thank you, that we all hold great significance in your eyes. Thank you for loving us and for involving us in your story. We pray for all of us who feel “at risk” from Covid 19 - you Lord are our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear. May we serve you faithfully.
Amen. ... See MoreSee Less

At Family Friday this week, we're learning more about Joseph and how, in the last part in the series, he forgave his brothers for mistreating him.
Settle in to listen to this 12 minute story, read by Daphne, here: www.christchurchswindon.co.uk/blog/story-of-joseph-part-3/
Joseph’s brothers had been very cruel to him, but when they met him again after many years they were sorry for what they had done. Joseph was happy to forgive them. He knew that God wants us to forgive, and that it is not always easy to do.
Prayer
Dear God, thank You for always being in control and knowing what is best for us. Forgive us when we hurt others or are unkind and help us remember to treat others the way we want to be treated. Amen.
You can find the story in: Genesis 42 – 47
You can listen to this Sunday's recorded service any time from 10 am, Sunday, 12 July: www.christchurchswindon.co.uk/bl…/this-weeks-service/. Children's resources for this service will be posted on Facebook Sunday Club Online on Saturday morning and early on the website on Sunday morning. ... See MoreSee Less
