A Rich Holy Week and Easter

 “There’s no stone in front of the cave!” 

As children brought their flowers to the Easter Garden, I’d told them something would be different when they came back. Spring flowers – primrose, forsythia, camellia, grape hyacinth, hellebore, arranged in jam jars looked really good. Wearing their magnificent Easter crowns, the children gathered close to look into the cave. “What can you see?” “A strip of cloth”, said one – connection with the story in the Bible clearly being made. Harder, it proved, to describe the cloth which had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. I drew attention to the Paschal Candle close by, reminding us the Risen Christ is with us today. We prayed that we meet Him today and every day, that He speaks to us and reveals Himself as the living Lord and that we share the good news with others. 

We were sent this video on behalf of the 100 Homes Campaign this week, it shares the experience of Rob and Jo, some recent foster carers who responded to the campaign.  

The united church in Nottingham has recruited 23 new foster homes in the last 3 years, with more on the way! Fostering Sunday this year is on 9^th May and the campaign aims to highlight the need for more foster carers as we unite to meet this great need.
