Prayer Focus:

A PRAYER AT EVENING

Blessed are you, O Lord our God,

King of the universe!

At your word night falls.

In your wisdom you open heaven’s gates,

You control the elements and rotate the seasons.

You set the stars in the vault of heaven.

You created night and day,

You cause the light to fade when darkness comes and the darkness to melt away in the light of the new day.

O ever living and eternal God,

You will always watch over us, your creatures.

Blessed are you, O Lord,

At whose word night falls.

A Jewish prayer

Did You Know?

The wine we use for Communion is bought from Whitebridge Wines Ltd. Staffordshire it is called Poterion Fair Trade Communion Wine.

Whitebridge source their wine from Stellar Winery in South Africa.

Stellar are the largest producer of fine organic, fair trade wines in Africa. The cellar is situated at

Kys Halte, just outside the Namaqualand town of Vredendal in the Western Cape Province, an area famous for its spring flowers and the only semi-arid Biosphere hotspot in the world.

Stellar Winery is more than just an organic wine producer. Ever since the cellar was founded in

2000, they've been refining their ideas on how to create a healthy business that is environmentally, socially and ethically responsible.

Their aim is to make a significant difference to the part of South Africa in which they live and work. That means impacting positively on the lives of the people who work at Stellar so that they in turn impact positively on their families and the communities in which they live.

Direct engagement with surrounding communities is another option. Their involvement with the public school and pre-school at Trawal has significantly raised the standards in both institutions and another centre for children and teenagers is planned at Koekenaap, close to the new farms in the Multi-Estate.

This is how Stellar do business and their eco-fair brand promise encapsulates this philosophy.

The eco-fair logo promises that the wine we are buying has been:

• made from organically-grown grapes

• is ethically produced and is fairly traded

Thought for the day

Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.

THOUGHT FOR THE COMING WEEK:

We all have different roles to play, we and God. It is our role to follow in Jesus’ steps by doing the work of the kingdom both by our deeds and by our prayers
