Another wonderful session at the Cotswold Home planting pots and beds for the residents to enjoy! The children and elderly residents have such a sweet connection and it's beautiful to see. We had snack, story and song time, so happy the weather held for us today. Have a great weekend everyone!

God, as you care for and
encourage the spring
flowers to burst through the
soil after winter's sleep,
may we care for and
encourage others to grow
and flower into the best
possible version of
themselves. Amen.

A fabulously warm Friday session was had last week in Alvescot as we discovered some wildflowers in a nearby field and checked our ID sheets for any we could spot. We also learnt about the dove that represents the Holy Spirit in this time of Pentacost and the children made doves from card and paper. We hope you are all having a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend and let's pray the sunshine stays for the rest of half term!! 🌞 ☀️ 🌤

Despite the wind and rain, we managed to make our Easter gardens again this year! The children and adults really enjoyed this beautiful activity, depicting Christ's resurrection from the burial tomb. We enjoyed snack and story time inside St Peter's Church and a small Easter egg hunt before the end of the session. We wish everyone a Happy Easter filled with joy and renewal.

'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die...'" 

John 11: 25-26
