Good evening everyone!  Hoping the weather has brought you some pleasure and comfort, even if it has been looking through a window.  Tomorrow, 5th April, brings us Palm Sunday, and the beginning of Holy Week.  On behalf of our Benefice Churches, I am pleased to offer an all-age worship service for this special day when we remember Jesus' arrival into Jerusalem, cheered by his followers but greeted with mistrust and suspicion by those who were wanting him gone.

If you have something to wave when we get to the 'We have a king who rides on a donkey' song - you can get into the spirit all the more for the occasion.  As we begin Holy Week, we hope you would like to follow us each day with reflections and prayers as a guide.  We await the glorious festival of Easter, this year on 12th April, when we can cry out:

He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!!

God Bless.  Stay in and stay safe.

At the moment many of us feel like we are travelling an unfamiliar path.  We are not sure where we are going or how long the journey will last.  Yet, in all this God offers us his hand to guide us through the unknown, whatever happens.  Here is a prayer I find helpful from the book 'Rooted in God's Love'

I can't see very well, Lord.

I certainly am not familiar with this path

Are you sure you know where this leads?

This feels like a pretty rough trail to me, Lord.

Are you sure I can make it?

Be my guide, Lord.

I am afraid.  I would be lost without you.

Guide me, Lord.

Turn darkness into light.

Make the rough places smooth.

Do not forsake me.

Amen
