TENBURY TEAM NEWS.THIS WEEK:
Prayer Project.
I think it is time to launch a prayer project in our Team - we have many concerns, the absence of our priest in charge, our finances, our attendance, our plans for the future. Nationally and internationally, there is much strife and uncertainty, and I am aware that we have no regular time for the team ministry to pray together. I would hope that people would commit to a half hour once per week, on a Monday to pray about these things. So, I would urge all of you to sign up and we will put this in the pew sheet from next week and see if we can gather some momentum for this and then see what emerges
The C Of E Website says this.
To pray is to make our hearts ready to experience the love of God in Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. Praying regularly will help us to develop a spiritual rhythm. A discipline of prayer changes the way that we think about our lives, because it creates new habits of heart and mind. Prayer opens us more deeply to the transforming grace of God. We enter into God’s presence, allowing the Holy Spirit to pray in us.

Christian Calendar Events.
Holy Cross Day.
Officially the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, is a Christian liturgical feast celebrated annually on September 14 to honor the cross on which Jesus was crucified. The day commemorates three significant events: the discovery of the True Cross by Saint Helena in 326 AD, the dedication of churches built on the sites of Christ's tomb and crucifixion by Emperor Constantine in 335 AD, and the re-elevation of the True Cross by Emperor Heraclius in 629 AD after it had been recovered from the Persians.
| Her Late Royal Highness Katharine, Duchess of Kent |
It is with great sadness that we have received the news of the death of Her Late Royal Highness Katharine on the 4th of September 2025, Duchess of Kent at the age of 92. The Late Duchess was a committed public servant, teacher, and musician. The Archbishop of York has published a statement reflecting on her life of service. We in Hereford Diocese are grateful for her many years of loyal public service and send our deepest condolences to the Duke and his family. Please join with me in praying for the Duke, his family, friends and all the Royal Family at this time.
“Almighty and eternal God,
Lord of life and conqueror of death,
Receive, we pray, your servant Katharine,
Whom you have called from this life.
Grand her a share in the inheritance of the saints in light,
And comfort us who mourn her passing,
That, strengthened by your grace,
We may trust in your Son,
Who is the resurrection and the life;
Through the same Jesus Christ our Lord”
