Helium atoms that form Carbon bouncing off          “A common sense
       one another instead of bonding.                     interpretation of the
                                                           facts suggests that
       Thirdly, once we have enough Carbon to              a super-intellect has
       support Life, the conditions also have to be ‘just  monkeyed with
       right’ for complex molecules to form and hold       physics, as well as
       together – and within the temperature range         with chemistry and
       that support their stability on Earth.  DNA – the   biology.”

       code for Life – is one such complex                 Sir Fred Hoyle
       molecule – the odds against it existing are
       astronomically astronomical!

       Compared with the 1/400,000,000,000 chance of you being born,
       the whole ‘chance’ of you being here right now on a planet that is
       ‘just right’ are simply unbelievable!

       Do you feel ‘lucky’?  You should!     https://youtu.be/AZO2RZua6kE

                 It’s some time since we had a prayer afternoon,
                            so, with the Elders’ support,
                 I would like to start them up again, beginning on
                                          st
                      Wednesday 21  June 2 - 4 pm,
                please note not Sunday afternoon  as in the past.

       My idea for the afternoon is to go back to the basic building blocks
                          of our faith based on the hymn

                            Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
                          Look full in His wonderful face,
                And the things of this world will grow strangely dim
                         In the light of His glory and grace

       The afternoon will start with a hymn and Bible reading followed by
       a short reflection and a time to pray. After that we’ll spend a short
       while thinking about our basic values and finally start to
       prayerfully consider our Mission Statement.
       We will finish with Communion led by Martyn.

       Please come if you are able, but if you have other commitments,
       please find a time to pray for our church near that day. I’m hoping
       there will be a board available so that we can share ideas and
       insights.  Anne Squires
