Announcement.
It is with the deepest sadness that we, the Team at ECO, announce the sudden death of our dear friend and colleague Clive Billenness.
Clive was instrumental in the designing and delivery of our weekly services and newsletters.
As a result, we will be taking a break from the normal pattern of broadcasting.
We are still here though, so if you have any requests for Prayer or need to reach out to ECO please do email janet@ourchurch.fr or message via Facebook.
We hope to return with renewed strength before too long, please look out for further announcements here and on Facebook.

Weekly Prayers
Summer prayer and blessing.
Lord of the sabbath, teach us to enrich our rest and leisure with reverence and praise.
Guide our steps and strengthen our hearts during these summer months.
Grant us refreshment of mind and body so we can make our homes places of relaxation.
May we strive to make a meaningful difference by sharing our blessings.
As we enjoy the warm days of summertime,
we pray for those who suffer from too much heat and face fire hazard.
As we enjoy gentle rain of summertime,
we pray for those who suffer from inundation and flooding.
As we enjoy the picnics and tastes of summertime,
we pray for those who cannot access any food.
As we enjoy the freedom of summertime,
we pray for those all who are incarcerated.
Draw us closer to You this summer.
Make us aware of Your presence around us
and teach us to pray wherever we are.
In the name of Jesus.
Amen
Celtic blessing.
The guarding of the God of life be on you,
the guarding of the loving Christ be upon you,
the guarding of the Holy Spirit be on you
Every night of your lives
to aid you and enfold you
Each day and night of your lives.
Amen.
