Today we mark the 15th anniversary since the Community opened the doors of Nether Springs at Acton Home Farm!

We rejoice in this place of provision and how some ordinary farm buildings and a bit of woodland and garden have become for us and for many a “thin place” where people experience more deeply the love of God.

We share together in the Meditation for today (Day 13, Celtic Daily Prayer, Book Two):

Show me a cave,
remind me of the past:
embrace my exile.
Tell me I’m loved at last.
Safe in the deepening darkness,
uncover a heart that sings.
Feet planted firmly in the ground,
release the nether springs!

Andy Raine, based loosely on Judges 1:12-15

This week’s Rule reflection

We are called to be available to others through participation in His care and concern for them by praying and INTERCEDING for their situations in the power of the Holy Spirit
