A reflection from Doug Chaplin for the Annunciation, and in preparation for Mothering Sunday, 2025
This Saturday, 22nd March at 8:30pm, join Earth Hour – a global moment to switch off and give back to creation. Major landmarks will go dark, and you can too! Take an hour for reflection, family, and action towards a more sustainable life. Let’s live gently, love mercy, act justly, and walk humbly in God’s creation.
Bishop Martin encourages us to use Lent as a time to reset and refocus on God through prayer, fasting, and acts of kindness. He suggests taking time to pray using the Daily Prayer app or Lectio 365, fasting by giving something up or taking a digital detox, and showing kindness by supporting our Lent Appeal for the Bible College in Morogoro, which funds scholarships for future church leaders. Join us in following Bishop Martin’s call to prayer, fasting, and generosity this Lent. Please give generously. www.cofe-worcester.org.uk/lent-appeal

A Reflection for Holocaust Memorial Day.
In this week's video reflection, Mark Badger, the Archdeacon of Worcester explores the transformative power of gratitude and counting your blessings. By taking just a moment each day to reflect on what you're thankful for - be it the love of family or the simple comfort of morning coffee - you can unlock profound mental health benefits. Gratitude helps rewire our brains, build resilience, strengthen relationships, and even lower blood pressure. It’s a practice rooted in faith and woven through scripture. This Monday, join Samaritans "Brew Monday", a reminder to check in with loved ones over a warm drink. Let’s prioritise our well-being and support one another, you never know how much a little moment of connection can mean.
Happy New Year! Diocesan Secretary, Andy Todd, shares a message for the new year.
In this week’s reflection, Doug Chaplin, our Discipleship and Lay Training Officer, explores the awe-inspiring beauty of the cosmos, from starry skies to intricate patterns in creation. He shares how the universe's "just right" conditions point to deeper meaning, purpose, and the greatness of God. As Advent invites us to consider cosmic images, Doug reminds us that Christmas reveals a God who is not only transcendent but intimately close, born as a child in love for the world. Let this Advent season inspire wonder and faith!
As Advent & Christmas near, thousands join our churches to connect with faith & tradition. Let’s welcome them warmly, make giving easy, and show how much they mean to our community. Together, we can make Christmas meaningful for all.
As winter draws near, All Saints' and All Souls' Days invite us to honour loved ones who've passed and those who inspire us. Lighting a candle reminds us of their light and the hope that guides us, even in dark times.
