Almighty God, you have created the
heavens and the earth and made us in
your own image: teach us to discern
your hand in all your works and your
likeness in all your children; through
Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who
with you and the Holy Spirit reigns
supreme over all things, now and for
ever.

Lectionary Readings for Today
Colossians 1.15-20 The Supremacy of Christ
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16for in him
all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been created
through him and for him. 17He himself is before all things, and in him all things
hold together. 18He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the
firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything.
19For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20and through him God
was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by
making peace through the blood of his cross.
John 1.1-14 The Word Became Flesh
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things came into being through
him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being
4in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. 5The light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7He came as a witness
to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. 8He himself was not
the light, but he came to testify to the light. 9The true light, which enlightens
everyone, was coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the
world did not know him. 11He came to what was his own, and his own people
did not accept him. 12But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he
gave power to become children of God, 13who were born, not of blood or of the
will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory,
the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.

FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT 23 Feb–8 March: 78% of the UK public recognise the
FAIRTRADE Mark. From UK sales alone, £26m of Fairtrade Premium was invested
by producers in 2013. But we know there is still a long way to go to make all
trade fair – just 1.2% of cocoa and less than 10% of tea globally is traded on
Fairtrade terms. So for Fairtrade Fortnight 2015, we’re going to turn a spotlight
on the producers who grow the products we love. By sharing their stories in a
fresh and compelling way, we can remind the UK of the dramatic difference
choosing Fairtrade. Visit http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/en/get-involved/currentcampaigns/fairtrade-fortnight-2015.
