A thought for today that struck accord with me. Hope it strikes a chord with you too.

Hope is not just an idea; neither is it a feeling. It is an attitude or an orientation. It is a way of living. The basis of hope is God, and living with hope is a matter of trusting God. Not a god that is going to break in and make everything OK, or unmake the bad that has happened, but God beyond and within time and matter, continually calling it into existence and working within it to create new life and new possibilities.

We are concerned about the life of this planet Earth. We are concerned about our society and where it is heading. We are concerned for people we know, and for the many we do not know who are caught up in wars, impoverished, enslaved, abused, or suffering from earthquakes, mudslides, floods and droughts. So is God and when we do what we can to ease the suffering, to make peace where there is violence and justice where there is oppression, to speak truth amidst lies, and to bring healing where there is disease, we are in tune with the creative love of God. The energy or Spirit of God flows through us.

Thank you so much to Rev’d Margaret,who helped EYFS and KS1 learn about baptism today.We held a christening for Jenny Wren and learned about the role of godparents ,the key features of a baptism, and asked lots of thoughtful questions to help us understand that Christians believe that baptism shows we belong to God’s family.
