HRH Prince Philip - Rest in Peace

A votive candle stand has been set up outside Church, and you are very welcome to come and light a candle there, or to add a yellow ribbon to those already on the yew trees.
The Church of England has issued the following prayer which you might find helpful:

God of our lives,

we give thanks for the life of Prince Philip,

for the love he shared among us,

and for his devotion to duty.

We entrust him now to your love and mercy,

through our Redeemer Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Church of England has an online condolence book for people to leave a message in memory of HRH Prince Philip on their website.

A little something from 1928

A little piece of a recipe book complied by parishioners of St Pauls, Hockley, Birmingham. (1928)

A Good Hint

Take equal parts of kindness, unselfishness and thoughtfulness, mix in an atmosphere of love, add a spice of usefulness, scatter a few grains of cheerfulness, season with smiles, stir with a good laugh. Success is certain.

Shared by Alistair Morris, Parishioner of St Stephens.
(Nephew of Rev Canon Ralph Stevens of St Paul's, Hockley)
