Compline (night prayer) - Wednesday, 21 October 2020

Another day comes to a close and the world is in turmoil as violence, oppression, weak, poor, corrupt and awful governments act against their people. natural disasters, man-made situations all feature as we pray and pass the baton over to the places where the Church is waking.

Lord in your mercy - hear our prayer and abide with us this night. Amen.

Compline (night prayer) - Monday, 12 October 2020

The day is done but the memories linger on. So we bring all that has been
and pray for the people, places and blessings given and received and in the completeness - head for bed and rest in God's love.

Compline (night prayer) - Saturday, 10 October 2020

Completion, the name of the service (compline) and the reality of the place our day is at. We life to the Lord our loved ones, the people and places on our hearts and our own foolishness and failings - and having done so, entrusting all into God's loving care, we head for bed and look towards Sunday and breaking bread and sharing God's love.

Sleep well - be blessed and stay safe beloved people.

Compline (night prayer) - Friday, 9 October 2020

Compline marks the end of the day in ways that the world cannot provide or, at times, understand. It enables us to reflect, repent, rejoice and request God's partnership, protection and peace in our life as the day reaches its completion.

Compline (night prayer) - Thursday, 1 October 2020

Compline ('completion') brings the day to a close with the opportunity to reflect, repent, rejoice and respond to all that the day has contained. That done, we lay all at the feet of Jesus, the Christ, and head for bed in preparation of a new day.

Compline (night prayer) - Tuesday, 28 July 2020

The day's end approaches and we reflect on all that the day has been and having given thanks, repented and prayers for the needs before us - we lay them at the feet of Jesus, the Christ, and head for bed.

Compline - a service of completion.

Compline (night prayer) - Wednesday, 15 July 2020

The close of the day calls us to reflect on all that has been and to rejoice, repent and to pray for the needs of others and ourselves as we prepare to take ourselves off to bed. Compline - a sublime service of prayer!

Compline (night prayer) - Saturday, 6 June 2020

Today we said goodbye to one of life's lovely people, may he, and all who have died this day rest in peace and rise in Glory.

As we prayed for those who remain we also prayed for the needs of the world, those in it (known and unknown) and for ourselves and all that they day has held.

Then, job done, we head for bed in readiness for a new day of blessing, joy, sorrow and challenge.

Compline (Not a milky drink!)

Compline (night prayer) - Pentecost, 31 May 2020

The close of a day of celebration for the Church and yet, across the globe (and nearer to home) there have been things to concern us and demand our attention and prayers.

 So in this service we close the days transactions and with completion of the day we head for bed trusting God to be God (as only He knows how).

 Christ is risen, ascended, and the Holy Spirit has come - Hallelujah!

Compline (night prayer) - Tuesday, 19 May 2020

Compline: the very last word of the day as we come to God with all that has been and entrust it, and us, into His hands :-)


 

Compline (night prayer) - Monday, 18 May 2020

This is THE way to end your day as a bedtime exercise.

Take all that the day has contained - reflect on it - say sorry where necessary - thank you where appropriate - place it all into God's hands and head for bed.

Simples!

Compline (night prayer) - Sunday, 17 May 2020

The close of day brings us before God to reflect, prayer and thanking Him for the day now past, to resolve to be different in the places where we fell short.

 This done, we take everything of the day and hand it over to God's safe keeping and retire to bed and sleep. Cheaper than a shrink and kinder than our critics :-)

 

Compline (night prayer) - Saturday, 16 May 2020

Another day ends - it's been a day of blessing and challenge, sorrow and joy, And so we reflect on the day and give thanks for all within it: People, places and events.

This done, we lay all before God and depart for our beds in the joyful knowledge that tomorrow will be a day when the Eucharist is celebrate and the resurrection of Jesus, the Christ, brought to the front of all we do :-)
