Old Grey Prayers, by Bernard Thorogood is a new collection of poetry, prayer and reflections on growing older available from the URC Shop now for just £4.
Ripeness is all
Giver of life, lover of life,
you seek life in all its fullness for all of us;
that the seeds may germinate;
the buds may blossom;
the trees grow tall;
and the children’s cries become the adult song.
Lord of life, we rejoice in all talents fulfilled,
in all loves matured, and all faith sustained.
But for ourselves, can we rest on the harvest of the years?
No more ambitions to fulfill?
May we say that our race is over?
Your grandchildren know that you have done enough –
and God knows you are tired.
The harvest of your life is safely gathered in.
Today you can sing the harvest home.
We will be meeting at the Lantern Coffee Shop at Raynes Park Methodist Church, Worple Road, this coming Friday, 13 May, at 1pm.
Everyone welcome to join us. We will be discussing our latest book, Slade House by David Mitchell.
Celebrating today the ascension of Jesus – with links to all corners of the earth.
Luke 24: 44-53
“Jesus led them out as far as Bethany; and he raised his hands and blessed them; and as he was blessing them he parted from them and was borne up into heaven.”

Are you aware of the importance of the referendum on the Britain’s membership of the European, yet overwhelmed by the complexity of the issues and cautious about what to make of the arguments?
The United Reformed Church, with its Joint Public Issues Team partners, the Baptist Union, the Methodist Church and the Church of Scotland, has produced a guide to help think through the issues in the light of the Gospel command to love your neighbour.
URC Secretary for Church and Society, Grace Pengelly, says: ‘It is vital that as Christians we are well informed as we vote. This resource will help churches navigate their way through the complex issues of the referendum debate.’
Designed as a discussion resource for churches and small groups, it tackles the key issues, such as sovereignty, economics, the environment, and free movement and migration.
Rather than provide answers, it is a tool to help explore some of the aspects of the debate to give us more clarity and confidence as we make our way to the polling booths on 23 June.

The next meeting will take place on Wednesday 4 May at 2.30pm when we will be welcoming a return visit of the handbell group, “The Nonsuch Ringers”. Their performance will be followed by afternoon tea. Everyone is welcome to join us for this special afternoon’s entertainment in the Mansel Road Centre.
Our next Church Meeting, on Wednesday 25 May at 8pm, is a very important one for Trinity. Please make every effort to attend.
Since our Local Ministry and Mission Review (LMMR) late last year, Elders’ Council has been considering how to respond its findings. Now we want to share our deliberations with the whole church, and work together to set a new course for Trinity, with new priorities, a new mission statement and new ideas for action.
