Dear All,Today is Candlemas. Our short reflective worship is based on this theme and Holocaust Memorial Day which occurred last week. This video comes a day early this week to help you reflect and bring your own worship to God. It's just 15 minutes long and very moving. I used it in my own personal prayer time this morning and found it helpful and a real blessing. Thank you to Andy, Joan, Ellie, Evelyn, Chris and Tim for making it so special.https://youtu.be/lPXnghbCsRwNext week in our bitesize worship we move to thinking about some Old Testament characters starting with Moses.With prayers and best wishesCarolRevd Carol H PharaohTeam Rector Blackrod, Daisy Hill, Westhoughton & Wingates Team
