   Heavenly Father,
   whose blessed Son was revealed to destroy the works of the devil
   and to make us the children of God and heirs of eternal life:
   grant that we, having this hope,
   may purify ourselves even as he is pure;
   that when he shall appear in power and great glory
   we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom;
   where he is alive and reigns with you,
   in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
   one God, now and for ever.

Repairs and maintenance
We are having to have a lot of work done on our building at present. We have discovered dry rot in the vestry and this will cost approximately £7000 to treat. We are also having our lighting repaired. In terms of maintenance, we are having a screen fixed to protect the Lady Chapel window, which will cost approximately £700. If you feel you can help with these works by giving an extra donation we would be very grateful.
