It has been good to enjoy the flowers of spring & though at the time of writing we are having a colder spell the warmth of the sunshine will soon be here & a lone swallow making its appearance - a sign of summer on the way.
On 27 March, Mothering Sunday, it was good once more after a break of two years to enjoy & share our full English Breakfast cooked by the men. Many thanks to all who contributed & those who cooked & served etc. Also thanks to all who took part & led the service afterward reminding us of one of the faithful & dedicated mothers in the Bible. A potted plant was given to all the ladies.
At the time of writing, we are looking toward the Easter Services beginning with Maundy Thursday Agape Meal at Calverleigh. At Loxbeare there will be Easter Reflections with Steph on Good Friday as we remember Jesus' death on the cross for us, & then joining with Calverleigh for celebrating Jesus' resurrection on Easter Sunday. He is risen Hallelujah.
