Easter Prayer
O Lord,
How amazing is your love,
A love that overcomes, endures and redeems.
How astounding is your life,
A life that sustains, heals and creates.
How awesome is your hope,
A hope that promises, restores and inspires.
How absorbing is your truth,
A truth that releases, changes and rebuilds.
How we worship you, as we remember the moment when your love conquered.
When out of the cave of sorrow Jesus arose to release forgiveness to the world.
And each time we encounter this resurrection day we are again lifted to an eternal place.
Our sin, brokenness and darkness fall away and your light and peace flood our lives.
How we thank you for this incredible celebration we call Easter.
Amen.

Forest Church
Dear Friends,
We’ve had a bit of a break, but Spring is (almost) here! Our next Forest Church is this coming Sunday (25th February), 3pm until 4.30pm.
We’ll be meeting at Huffley Farm. There is plenty of parking. There’s lots to see on the farm, and it might well be muddy, so please dress accordingly! The main focus will be the newborn lambs- there are 25 so far, so we will be able to get a good look at them. Because of the lambs, we do ask that dogs are left at home this time round. We’ll also have plenty of sheepish crafts to do, and there is shelter if it’s wet. There are hot drink facilities, so we can also provide you with a warming cup of tea/ coffee/ hot chocolate. Do bring a picnic to eat at the end if you’d like to.
Directions
At the Ellesmere Road Roundabout, take the A528 towards Wem/ Ellesmere. After a mile or less, you’ll enter Broad Oak, and when you come to the Albright Hussey on the right, take the road directly opposite- on the left. Follow the lane down (watch out for difficult to see speed bumps) and you come to a point (not very far) where the lane divides – fork LEFT there. You go under a pylon, and carry on towards the farm. The postcode is SY4 3AE.
See you soon,
Blessings,

World Book Day – 7th March
Hello
It’s nearly World Book Day!!! On Thursday 7th March 2024 we are looking forward to the children coming into school dressed as their favourite book character. There will be lots of fun book related activities taking place throughout the day. See the link below for activities, audio books and competitions you can do at home as well.
We realise that it is normally PE on a Thursday, please do not send your child into school, in PE kit but dressed for World Book Day. But if you could please put a pair of trainers in their bags so that they can change into them for their PE session that would be helpful.
Thank you in advance and we are looking forward to seeing an array of characters.
