Dear Sunday Community,
Just wanted to share with you all this poem by Malcolm Guite… The Sower.

I love your simple story of the sower
With all its close attention to the soil,
It’s movement from the knowledge to the knower,
It’s take on the tenacity of toil.

I feel the fall of seed a sower scatters
So equally available to all,
Your story takes me straight to all that matters
Yet understands the reasons why I fall.

Oh deepen me where I am thin and shallow
Uproot in me the thistle and the thorn,
Keep far from me that swiftly snatching shadow
That seizes on your seed to mock and scorn.

Oh break me open, Jesus, set me free,
Then find and keep your own good ground in me.

You are all in our thoughts. We look forward to seeing you next week. Happy Sunday whatever you’re doing,
Sheila and Rob
