Sentence
As he went ashore, Jesus saw a great crowd; and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
Mark 6.43
Collect
Eternal God,
Author of our life and end of our pilgrimage:
Guide us by your word and Spirit amid all perils and temptations,
That we may not wander from your way,
But may run our course in safety until we come to our eternal rest in you;
Through the grace of Jesus Christ our Lord,
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
One God, for ever and ever. Amen

COVID RULES
Please don’t forget to use your phone to scan the QR code when entering and leaving church each week. If you don’t have a Smart phone or are unable to do this, then someone at the door of your church centre will take your details.
Please remember we have to keep the 4 metre distancing rule in church – that is we need to keep a large distance between each other. Couples can sit together at one end of a pew – and maybe one person at the other end.
Masks must be worn – and we cannot sing. Morning tea cannot be served at present.
