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.
