| Prayer for the Month |
| Thought for the month |
| Below you will find extracts from this month's Parish Magazine First Words..............., A Prayer for the Month and A Thought for the Month |
| God be with you at every leap; Christ be with you on every steep; Spirit be with you in every deep; Each step of the journey you go. Thrice Holy One, eternal Three-in-One, make your people holy, make your people one. Stir up in us the flame that burns out pride and power. Restore in us the love that brings the servant-heart to flower. Thrice Holy God, come as the morning dew; Inflame in us your love which draws all lesser loves to you. Amen Ray Simpson – Celtic Daily Light |

| An introduction to our Lent gatherings ‘Everything comes in parables’ |
| This year The Dean of Sheffield, Peter Bradley, will lead you on a tour through the parables of Jesus as together we enter their world, enjoy their stories and word puzzles, and find in them games that all of us can play. We will be studying some of the latest scholarship on the parables, and discussing the new challenges this opens up to us in the Scriptures. |
| ‘Stand at the crossroads’ says the Lord, ‘and look for the ancient way; ask for the good way and take it;’ |
