What shall I bring to the Lord, the God of heaven, when I come to worship him? Shall I bring huge amounts of money and goods? Shall I offer even my most precious possession to try to pay for my sins? No, the Lord has told us what is good. What he requires of us is this: to do what is just, to show kindness and love, and to walk in humble fellowship with our God. adapted from Micah 6: 6-8

Thought for the week:
‘Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Jesus, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?”’ St John 6: 9.
The boy offered what he had and Jesus fed a multitude. What are the small things we can offer our Lord?
