We received copies of Forward Day by Day. This little booklet offers daily inspirational meditations reflecting on a specific Bible passage, chosen from the daily lectionary readings as listed in the Revised Common Lectionary or the Daily Office from the Episcopal Church's Book of Common Prayer. The meditations are rich in substance and offer a wide range of witness and experiences. Each month’s meditation is written by a different author. To view a Forward Day by Day daily meditation, click here.
If you would like a copy mailed to your home, please be in touch with Ali in the parish office. First come, first served.
