Little Church Discoveries ⛪️
Time for a spotting challenge! 👀

You may have noticed the letters IHS or IHC around the church, but what do they mean?

They come from the first three letters of Jesus’ name in Greek (ΙΗΣΟΥΣ) and has been used for centuries as a symbol of Christ.

Once you start looking, you may be surprised how many you can find around the church!

Now that you know, see how many you can spot on your next visit! 👀

Pentecost ✨

The Church is clothed in red. The colour of fire, courage, and the coming of the Holy Spirit. 🔥🕊️

Today, 50 days after Easter, we celebrate Pentecost: the glorious descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, igniting hearts and empowering the Church.

May the same Spirit fill us with bold faith, renewed hope, and divine love. ❤️

Ascension Day ✨
Who can you spot sitting on the Cross?
Sometimes the smallest visitors draw our eyes back to it!

P.S. Thank you Alan Bruce for the lovely photo

Glenise has just passed her assessment to become a Pets as Therapy dog, and she’s been busy leaving some treats for her four-legged friends to enjoy when they visit.

A small act of kindness, and a reminder of the joy and care we can share with all of God’s creation 💜
