Lent unfolds….
This picture is one of me on the day of my birth.
I am the baby on the bed, with my brother and sister checking I had fingers and toes, and my mother looking on in the background. It reminds us just how vulnerable we are as small babies and how much we rely on our mothers and others who cared for us.
Mothering Sunday brings us an opportunity to thank our mothers (and others who cared for us) or remember them. Please do join us for special all-age friendly worship for Mothering Sunday at St Giles, Tockenham at 9:15am or bring a picture of yourself as a baby or small child (up to A5 sized).
Later in March, Lent continues a pace and on Palm Sunday we will have a special benefice communion at 10:30am at St Giles in Tockenham. If the weather is favourable, this will include having a palm procession around the church to remember Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on the first Palm Sunday. On this day, we will also hear again the story of the Passion, this year from the gospel of Luke. Please bring a marker pen to this service to mark up your part (with others) in the dramatic reading.
Wishing you a holy Lent, Rev’d Alison Way,
