Join the Fightback! As you probably know, in the space of just one week at the end of June, MPs voted to legalise assisted suicide and to decriminalise abortion, allowing for abortion up to birth. These are threats that we should all care deeply about. SPUC invites you to join in the fightback, to make your voice heard and to stand up for the most vulnerable. Please fill out one of the postcards at Church porch, and SPUC will send you information about what you can do for the cause.

The Most Precious Blood of Jesus (2) But why does God still willing to do so even we offended Him? Because God Loves us so, to an unimaginable level… If you have heard and touched by the story of the mother pelican's love, that in time of famine would striked her chest with the beak to feed her young with her blood to prevent starvation. How much more it should make you feel when Jesus poured out all the life-Blood from His Sacred Body and died on the Cross in order to save you from eternal death! Can you see how precious we are to God? We, human, are not just merely part of His Creation, we are created in the image of God, we are His children, and He guard us as 'the apple of His Eye'. Even the angels did not had the same privilege after they sinned...We are ransomed, so our souls can be free from the clutches of the Satan, even gold and silver is not enough, but can only be done by the Most Precious Blood of Christ. Indeed, while Abel's blood cried to the skies from the ground for his vengeance; Jesus' Blood cried to God from the garden of Gethsemane, from the scourging at the pillar, from the crowning with thorns, along His way to Calvary and from the Cross, not for His Own vengeance, but for our mercy and pardon. Jesus, loves us Heart and Soul, pour out His whole Love and His every last drops of Blood, every single drop is a plead for us that sounds like roaring thunder which shakes the whole Heaven and earth. Through His Blood, we receive the promise of salvation and Eternal Life. How powerful is Jesus' Most Precious Blood! Let us today realise and increase our love to His unending Love.

Show favour, O Lord, to your servants and mercifully increase the gifts of your grace, that, made fervent in hope, faith and charity, they may be ever watchful in keeping your commands. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you  in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
