Tuesday 6th Aprilsoul moments. On several occasions this week, if you are able, stop, stand, really stand. You can do this with or without footwear. Close your eyes and take notice of the pressure on the soles of your feet. What does it feel like? What does the surface feel like that you are standing on? Are you standing on something hard or soft? Is there any give or take? This stopping and just noticing something that you probably don’t general take note of creates a soul moment, which is good for our wellbeing.'STOP, STAND, REALLY STAND, wellbeing'Wednesday 7th AprilWeekly Worship podcast.

This week we have asked people to take part in a survey about us starting up a new Baby and Toddler Group at the Pavilion in Alconbury Weald.The basic idea is a simple soft play gathering for 0-4yrs with their parents/carers. There will be refreshments available and an optional zone which may host a Bible Storytime session; craft activity; or occasionally a visiting parenting advisor. Mostly it is about a place for babies and children to socialise and for parents/carers to socialise and share parenting joys and tribulations (mutual support). A place to Be Loving which is the church’s aim.The survey was released via AlconburyWealdLiving Facebook page and an Easter card posted through residents doors. We have had some 60 responses which have been both positive and informative.

This week, when you are alone, just stop for a moment and smile, really smile. Think about the smile upon your face, your muscles in your cheeks, maybe the smile has even reached your eyes. Don’t think about anything else, just focus on your smile, think about the emotion behind your smile and how it makes you feel. Do this and smile a couple of times maybe even several times during the week. These are soul moments, and they are good for our wellbeing.Friday 25th March"People look at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart." cf. 1 Samuel 16:7b

Over the next few days, pause for a moment, still yourself and then as you are able, gently and slowly stretch in some way; this could be a hand; an arm; a leg or a standing stretch; really stretch and hold it for a moment. Think about the muscles that you are stretching and how it feels. Now relax the stretch, hold it there for a moment before coming fully out of the stretch. Just doing this occasionally creates a soul moment, which is good for our wellbeing.STOP, STRETCH, REALLY STRETCH, wellbeing.Saturday 20th March"Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing."
