Easter Monday: Caring

Kay writes:

When I became ill two years ago and could no longer stand to chat to people over coffee on Sunday mornings and had to sit down with older members of the congregation, I wondered what God was doing taking me away from welcoming new people and talking to young families, particularly those coming prior to baptism. I now know why. Since building up these new friendships with older members, I'm now able to easily chat to them over the phone during this time of lockdown. God works in mysterious ways.

Kay is one of our wonderful team of volunteers phoning people daily.

We pray
For all whose day starts with anxiety,
worrying about the risk of infection;
particularly those whose health
or age classifies them as vulnerable.
Loving God, be close, keep them safe,
along with all whose tasks today
includes the care of frail and elderly.
And for all of us, grant wisdom
to make sensible choices, not just
for ourselves, but for everybody.
