Bell ringing at Christ Church
The Tower Captain and his team are working through the advice of the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers and taking measures to ensure the safety of the bell-ringers. They will start ringing as soon as they can. Initially, this will for the Sunday 10am service and last for 15 minutes. There won't be any practice sessions on Tuesday evenings, or Quarter Peal attempts just yet. More information can be found here: cccbr.org.uk/coronavirus/

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

Prayer
Almighty God, we thank you for the story of Philip and the Ethiopian official.
We pray that your Holy Spirit will be as active in our lives as it was in Philip’s, and that you will take us to the places where you want to use us.
We pray that we will be sensitive to those who are asking questions about faith; that we will be able to provide answers from all that we learn about you through your words in the Bible.
Use us in your Kingdom and enable many more to be baptised.
Through the power of your Son, our saviour, Jesus Christ,
Amen
