United Benefice of St.Mary, Higham Ferrers, and St. John, Chelveston
From the 25th November Mothers Union invite you all to mark 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. Throughout the campaign, we join with over 6,000 organisations from over 185 countries to raise awareness of and call for an end to gender-based violence and abuse in all forms and in all societies. More information can be found on the MU board at the back of church, or online.
PRAYER OF THE DAY
Advent Sunday
Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
