New Year’s Resolutions!

11th January 2018 by Ros Greenhalgh Leave a Comment

I wonder how many of you  made a New Year’s Resolution and if you did I wonder how long it lasted? Maybe you’ve already broken it or perhaps it’s going to be something of a complete life change, which means you’ll never go back to the previous way of doing things? A survey from an American University suggested that a surprisingly high 75% of … [Read more...]

The Archbishop of Canterbury has called us to pray between Ascension Day and Pentecost. www.thykingdomcome.global   This year we will be doing something a bit different and going on a ‘Prayer walk’.

The final week before the Easter weekend is called Holy Week and starts on Palm Sunday when we remember that Jesus finally arrived in Jerusalem on a donkey. Here are a few suggestions for how you might celebrate and journey through Holy week … [Read more...]

Looking Back and Forward for Mothering Sunday

21st March 2017 by Ros Greenhalgh Leave a Comment

I love this time of year as suddenly the world seems to be waking up, stretching and looking forward to the warmer weather. Even the rectory garden is coming alive with snowdrops and aconites and the hope of a few early daffodils. But this is also a time when Christians begin to look forward to a new season. It doesn’t seem long since Christmas, … [Read more...]

When Christmas is over….

5th January 2017 by Ros Greenhalgh Leave a Comment

As I write this during the first week of January  there is still evidence of Christmas all around me – all waiting to be put away until next year. And that got me thinking -  I wonder if we are tempted to put Jesus away along with the tree, the decorations and the left over Christmas cards? There’s a beautiful prayer that I often use at … [Read more...]

The Chocolate Nativity

2nd December 2016 by Ros Greenhalgh Leave a Comment

There are many ways to tell the Christmas story and I thought you might enjoy this one. Of course the story of Jesus birth is very familiar and has little to do with reindeer pulling sleighs and flakes of snow. 2000 years ago, Mary heard a wispa from the angel Gabriel that she was to be the mother of God's son. But how could this be? Having a … [Read more...]
