THE WHITE
FLOWER APPEAL
The Society
for the Protection of Unborn Children is holding its annual appeal this
weekend. This year SPUC is commemorating the 50th anniversary of the passing
of the 1967 Abortion Act. Over 8.7 million unborn children have lost their
lives due to abortion in the last 50 years. Since 1967 SPUC has been working
tirelessly to uphold the sanctity of human life from conception until natural
death. Please help make 2017 a landmark year in SPUC’s historic campaign to
win legal protection for unborn children. Please be as generous as you can to
help SPUC and help save mothers and babies from abortion. Thank you.

A THOUGHT
You
can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes
have roses
A PRAYER
I am
regretting the past and fearing the future.
Suddenly my
Lord was speaking: ‘My name is I am.’
I invited. He
continued
‘When you live
in the past, with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I am not there.
My name is not
I was.
‘When you live
in the future, with its problems and fears, it is hard. I am not there.
My name is not
I will be.
When you live
in this moment it is not hard.
I am here. My
name is I AM.
(Helen Mallicoat)
