March 2022 March 2022
DATES FOR calendar. This is a time for stopping and thinking about what we’re doing and
Wednesday 2nd March is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent in the Church’s
where we’re going and sometimes, we must do a complete about turn. I was
YOUR DIARY recording an assembly for school today and explaining that realizing we are going
in the wrong direction and turning around is what Christian’s call repentance
That is what the 40 days of Lent are about – reflecting on our lives, saying sorry and
2022 prayerfully seeking God’s help to sort out those things that need changing. We
don’t need to be Christians to repent, though. We can all make mistakes, and we
Floral Group Autumn Leaves Communibus Women’s Institute can all do something about them.
Like the signs of spring in my borders being given room to grow after the brambles
Salt and Pepper Club Pop in Place Twinning Gardening Club
were cleared, being able to do an about turn and being forgiven helps us to grow
and be much better people.
