CHRIST CHURCH, ST ANDREW’S AND ST MICHAEL’S
3RD OCTOBER 2026
Hello everyone!
This month, my image is a colour palette because I was thinking of asking the question – what colour would you paint peace? There are so many ways in which we can think of peace. It could be world peace – where countries and nations get along, where they are not at war within themselves or with one another. It could be peace and quiet on a still day – whether this is a calm weather day or an oasis in the middle of lots of busyness. It could be the peace that comes from making a decision over which you have spent time agonising. It could be the peace that we see, or long to see, within our families or communities. It could be the peace within ourselves. And all of these might seem a different colour. Or perhaps peace comes as a dove, a sign of God’s spirit and presence, as the peace that only God can give, that takes us to the heart of peace whatever the circumstances are around us and however we feel. ‘Peace, my peace, I give to you’, says Jesus. May you know God’s peace today and every day.
