“The Owl” - Chaplaincy NEWSLETTER
28th May 2023 - Pentecost
If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them;
if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.
John 20, verse 23.
Collect
Holy Spirit, sent by the Father, ignite us with your holy fire;
strengthen your children with the gift of faith, revive your church
with the breath of love, and renew the face of the earth, through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Call to Worship

OTHER INFORMATION

Let your life as a Christian make non believers question their disbelief in God, and remember, it takes the same amount of energy to believe as it does to worry.
Prayer for the week
All mighty God, your ascended Son has sent us into the world to preach the good news of your kingdom; inspire us with your Spirit and fill our hearts with the fire of your love, that all who hear your Word, may be drawn to you, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Some of you will have already heard Terry Read, a member of the congregation in Mojacar for many years, died on Monday in England. His family are having his body cremated and his ashes will be returned to Mojacar for internment as he wished. Rest in peace, Terry.
