God of new beginnings

O God of new beginnings
who brings light out of night's darkness
and fresh green out the hard winter earth,
there is a barren land between us as people and as nations this day,

behind. In front, in the RH third, you can see an angel on a

Marie Thompson said she spoke with the workmen when she was watering
and they said how much they loved doing it and had done a catholic
rectory before. One also said each time he placed a brick he said a
prayer. Isn't that great! X CC

Isn't she growing! And apologies to her parents for referring to her
mother as Judith - she's really called Paula.

Peter,

And in the photo sitting in the Light!

Thank you for sharing your journey.

There's another song you could share with the children that my girls
loved "This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice an be
glad in it" (from Psalm 118:24 of course)

and I have to share this...sometimes there is the "floodgates of heaven"

more in the church will not be aware of the emails, meetings and discussions

That so much is being done, with me away, is ........................
