Mothering Sunday 31st March 2019
On Mothering Sunday we give thanks to God for the gift of mothers and the mother-like nurture that many people show to others in their lives.
Isaiah wrote that God is a mother to us, comforting and carrying us in her arms: As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you… (Isaiah 66:13, NIV1984).
Christmas does not end at midnight on Christmas Day!
Christmas does not end at midnight on Christmas Day! The Christmas season runs from Christmas Eve all the way to Epiphany on 6 January and then the season of Epiphany lasts until Candlemas on 2 February, when we celebrate the presentation of Christ at the temple.
Epiphany, the date in the Church’s calendar in which Christians remember the visit of the wise men from the East to present gifts to Jesus.
ALL ARE WELCOME AT THE DRIVE. Join us for Sunday Worship at 10.30 am & coffee/tea afterwards if you have the time.
A Child’s Prayer
‘Dearest Loving Jesus, please help me to be good, and say and do nice things that all good children should.
But if sometimes I slip a bit and do get out of hand, then please dear loving Jesus help the grown ups understand
that it isn’t always easy to be good, as good as can be
But I promise to always try my best because you’re helping me.’
Amen
This poem was written by one of our congregation for her grandchildren.
