St Cyprian, Bishop and Martyr at Carthage, 258*

                                           Psalm 56:3-4

When- 

ever 

I am 

afraid, 

I put 

my 

trust 

in you; 

in God 

whose 

word

I praise,

 in God I 

trust  

& will 

not be 

afraid.

                                           The Lutheran Book  suggests praying today for Africa and Christians in Africa. 

Also today in our Anglican tradition we remember St Ninan, c430, Bishop of Galloway and Misisonary to Scotland  He, along with Patrick, is one of the links between the ancient Roman-British Church and the developing Celtic Christianity of Ireland and Scotland. (Holy WOmen, Holy Men)
