A Prayer for Our Village
The Monday Night Bible Study group has been exploring the ministry of praying blessings for others and have put together a prayer to bless the village. They hope that others in the church will find it useful:
Peasedown St John, I bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that He may protect the vulnerable and
those who struggle with mental and physical ill health,
granting them His shalom so that they and
all their relationships may flourish.
May God's Spirit give this whole village a longing to know God,
drawing them towards the one who created and loves them.
I bless your faithful people,
that God may encourage them with wisdom and understanding
as they grow in knowledge of Him and give increase of those who are being saved.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

EcoChurch Bronze Award
We are delighted to have been awarded an EcoChurch Bronze award, becoming the first Church in the Somer Valley area to do so.
EcoChurch is run by the Christian conservation group, A Rocha, and aims to encourage Churches to take the care of creation into every part of the life of the Church. The scheme asks Churches to look at five areas of Church life and to see what action they are taking in each area.
The first area is the Church’s worship and teaching – does care of God’s creation feature regularly in Church services and in teaching for all ages? Peasedown Methodist scored highly on this. But, it’s important that this is translated into action. The next three areas look at the environmental standard of the Church building, at the way that any land the Church owns is used and how the Church gets involved in community engagement both at home and abroad. So, in recent months the Church has twinned its garden with a garden in Kenya where women are being encouraged, through the Bath-based charity Ripple Effect, to grow crops in an environmentally friendly way.

Open The Book
Open the Book is a Bible Society project which offers Primary School children the opportunity to hear and be part of major Bible stories presented by a team of Christians from local churches.
We, in Peasedown St John, have people from all three churches in our team and every Thursday afternoon we go to Peasedown Primary School to present a Bible story to one half of the school, repeating it for the other half the next week.
We use the Lion Storyteller Bible and follow a handbook which guides us in our presentation. The children respond well and some assist us when we need 'extras' to act. It's a great way of getting Bible stories across to the youngsters.
As a team from all 3 churches in Peasedown, we really appreciate your prayers as we go into the school to bring these Bible stories to life. And if anyone is interested in joining the team (1 hour on a Thursday afternoon - not everyone comes every week), please do let us know.
This was Abraham, Sarah and one of the three messengers getting ready to tell the story 'God's Friends' to the older children at Peasedown Primary School by the Open the Book team a while ago. There was a lot of laughter, everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves and we had a great group of children helping with the acting and the projector.
This completed a story begun a week or so before of Joseph, from his time with his brothers who envied him as he was Jacob's favourite, sold him into slavery, he was then imprisoned and, because God helped him to interpret dreams, he became second in importance to the Pharaoh. Again the children helped by acting as brothers and servants and it went down very well.

- are suffering lasting effects from the virus (long Covid)
- are working in the health and other services at a time of demand and uncertainty
- have lost their jobs or businesses because of the restrictions
- are anxious about the future
- are elected to serve this and other nations at this time
- are working hard to find new treatments to tackle Covid19
- do not have access to vaccines - particularly remembering our global partners
- lead our churches as we seek to discern our mission
- have had their faith challenged and are uncertain about much
Please will you also use the Day of Prayer to ask what you/we
are being called to do and be as God’s Church
is reshaped in these uncertain days?

Psalm Walks
Psalm Walks are a new way of worshipping and it is for all ages. It allows you to spend time alone with God or to share it with friends and family – remember to keep within covid restrictions.
Psalm walks will be produced for the 1st & 3rd Sundays in the month. During the week, please send Julie any of your thoughts, reflections, pictures, videos clips from your Psalm Walk and she will put them together to create some sort of response/feedback for the Sunday morning service on the 2nd & 4th Sundays.
You can go on your Psalm walk anywhere (even in your own garden) and at any time during the week, but if you are doing the Psalm Walk with children then why not join Julie for a Psalm Walk in the church garden on the 1st & 3rd Sunday of the month between 9.30am and 10.00am.
Sheets are available to download by clicking here. There is one for adults and a simplified version for children, but they both use the same Psalm and follow similar themes and ideas (you can tell which is the children’s one because it has a picture of some children in the top right corner). This is a great way to worship outdoors and we hope many people of all ages will get involved and be blessed through it.

Christian Aid Week
15th‑21st May 2022
In Zimbabwe, the climate crisis is causing aching hunger for families like Jessica’s. For the first time in a generation, global poverty is rising. The combined effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, conflict, and drought have robbed communities like Jessica's of the power to provide for their children. It's unjust.
This Christian Aid Week:
- We stand with the resilient women - like Jessica - who are determined to lift their families out of hunger
- We raise our voices to call for climate justice
- We pray that families will stay strong during times of drought
Together, we hope to restore justice to our world, and protect the future for our children and grandchildren.
Please give to help women grow crops that survive in the drought. You can help turn hunger into hope. There are now donation boxes at the Hive and the Meeting Place, or you can give online by following this link Christian Aid. Please give generously!
With every gift, every action, every prayer, every one of us can change lives.
