Mothering Sunday - Parade ServiceToday we had our parade service for Mothering Sunday. The children gave their mums a bunch of flowers to thank them for all they do. We also thought about all the mums who were no longer with us and we lit a candle for them.
Lent CourseEvery Thursday we met as Revd. Sarah Rachell led our Lent course ‘Christ and the Chocolaterie.Christ and the Chocolaterie is an original, innovative Lent course written by Hilary Brand for small groups or individuals, inspired by the film Chocolat starring Juliette Binoche. It suggests clips from the film, group discussion questions, exercises and meditations, and relevant Bible passages for a powerful aid to Lenten reflection. It also includes appendices on the curious history of chocolate, the unfair economics of chocolate and ideas for a chocolate feast. Twenty-one years since it was first published, Hilary has updated the course for this new edition, which still has so much to inspire those who read and discuss it, on what it means to be human and the power of change.
Today our Baptismal families were invited for tea and cake.The children made gifts for their mums and had a lovely time playing together.
