Heavenly Father,
you have called us in the Body of your Son Jesus Christ
to continue his work of reconciliation
and reveal you to the world:
forgive us the sins which tear us apart;
give us the courage to overcome our fears
and to seek that unity which is your gift and your will;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

During Lent, we will be resuming our Wednesday evening services. Please join us each week for reflections based on the Stations of the Cross.
LAVOCHKA
The Lavochka – our second-hand clothes stores, which raises money for MPC social outreach programmes – is open for business on Friday afternoons and after the main Sunday service. We are always in need of additional volunteers, so if you would like to help, either in the shop or sorting through donations, please see Nicolette.
MORNING PRAYER
is said daily, Monday to Friday at 8:30am in the chapel. It is also live streamed on our YouTube channel, St. Andrews Anglican Church Moscow. You can find the text and audio version of Morning Prayer on the 'Daily Prayer' app by Aimer Media, or the Church of England's website.
NEXT WEEK:
WEDNESDAY 12th MARCH
19:00 – The Way of the Cross
SUNDAY 16th MARCH – SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT
09:00 – Morning Prayer (traditional language)
11:00 – Morning Worship with hymns
March 7
Just a reminder, that after this Sunday’s service, we will be raising funds at our simple soup lunch to help Father Henry and his team at the SS Simon and Jude Nursery and Primary School in Enugu, Nigeria replace the school’s water pump and refurbish their classrooms. Any donations – however large or small – will help ensure that the children have a safe supply of clean drinking water and a better learning environment. Unfortunately, we cannot accept card payments for our charity collections, so please make sure you bring cash with you on Sunday.
