At our online service the Gospel reading was Mark 9:38-50, which begins with the disciples complaining to Jesus that someone who is not in their group has been acting in Jesus' name. Jesus replies with some words which are difficult to hear and to interpret about the consequences of putting obstacles...
Our mission
The calling of the Methodist Church is to respond to the gospel of God's love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission.
Our mission in the Shropshire and Marches Circuit is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul and mind, and to love our neighbour as ourselves by the power of the Holy Spirit in our large and rural community.
With God's help we aim to:
be aware of the differing needs of all our congregations and be prepared to adapt in order to offer mutual nurture and support
be aware of the needs of our Ministers, Lay workers and Local preachers and encourage them in their calling and mission
be aware of the needs of our local neighbourhoods and be witnesses for Jesus Christ within them
accept our responsibility towards the natural world by consciously caring for God's creation
be vocal in our commitment to inclusivity, ensuring our churches are places where all are welcome regardless of gender, race, sexuality, or any other issue which might be considered a barrier
so that we may unite as a Circuit in enabling the worship of God, and be a loving, effective and constantly evolving Methodist presence in our communities.
Prayer of the day
Almighty God,
Author and perfector of our lives,
you are God of all creation;
the moon and the stars sing your praises,
the rich and the poor revere you equally,
the joyous and the grief-stricken seek you equally,
the peace-lover and the warmonger look to you for strength for you are God!
You saved the world even before we knew we needed saving.
You provided for our needs even before we were aware of our nakedness.
Your grace amazes us,
your love fulfils us,
your forgiving presence instils hope and our suffering is eased.
Thank you for filling us with your vision.
Thank you for imbuing your wisdom upon us,
Almighty Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Receive our worship, hear our prayer;
for you are God. Amen!
