Prayer
Jesus help me to come to you in the middle of the overwhelm. Remind me of your ever-present help in my times of need. Show me how to rest in You. Reveal to me both the beauty in the work and in the rest. Calm my anxious thoughts and encourage my heart with Your nearness. Instruct me in your ways. Bring productivity and contentment out of the peace and comfort I find. Settle me in Your truth and in Your love.
Amen.
A prayer from Dr Saundra Dalton-Smith.

Let’s Meet Up! Thursday 12th August 10.30 am to 12 noon
Many of us have been missing opportunities to relax and talk with each other, now that we have to be careful with covid restrictions, so we are organising some managed open-air gatherings. The first of these is a Coffee Morning at the Estoril Wellness centre (Hotel PalacioTermas, Rua Particular, 2769-504, Estoril) on Thursday 12th August, from 10.30am – 12 noon. Their Organic Café is open air, with tables of 4 that have parasols to give shade. Free parking is available at the centre and the price of coffee is reasonable too! No payment needed in advance – just pay separately on the day for what you order. We have booked 6 tables and need to inform the café of numbers by the previous day.
If you would like to attend, booking is essential before Tuesday 10th August. You can either book by email to spbooking@lisbonanglicans.org stating clearly that this is for Thursday Coffee or by phoning Beth +351 932 101 805.
We hope to see you there! If you enjoy it there, then we can book a regular monthly social.

Livestream Equipment – can you help?
We are purchasing a digital mixing desk to enable us to livestream services from St Paul’s. Currently, online services are pre-recorded; the desk would enable online viewers to be part of the main service as it happens and feel more a part of the congregation. You may remember we used a second-hand analogue mixing desk last summer but we have been unable to successfully stream the sound using this equipment.
Our goal is €1500. So far we have raised over €700.
Should you wish to contribute to the live-streaming equipment, please click on the blue donorbox above, or do a bank transfer to IBAN: PT50000702070003444000351. Please if you do a bank transfer, email the Treasurer, Asha Martins ashamartins@gmail.com advising her of this.
Thank you so much!
