In this week's reflection, Canon Claire invites us In this week's reflection, Canon Claire invites us all to come into the Abbey as a safe and spiritual place, whether you wish to attend a service, light a candle or just sit in quiet reflection. 

The Abbey is open every day from 8am until 5.30 pm. Please check our diary for services.
Wishing you all a Happy and Blessed #stpatricksday Wishing you all a Happy and Blessed #stpatricksday☘️ 🌈 

Almighty God,
who in your providence chose your servant Patrick
to be the apostle of the Irish people:
keep alive in us the fire of the faith he kindled
and strengthen us in our pilgrimage
      towards the light of everlasting life;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Today is #motheringsunday - a day honouring our Mo Today is #motheringsunday - a day honouring our Mother churches in which we were baptised. 

It originated in the UK during the 16th Century and in later years, provided those in domestic service the opportunity to return home to their families to attend Church together. The fasting of Lent was relaxed this day and often a Simnel cake was enjoyed.

The tradition started to decline but was revived in the beginning of the 20th Century with the Mothering Sunday Movement created by Constance Penswick Smith.  Her most influential booklet was produced in 1921, entitled 'The Revival of Mothering Sunday' with four chapters outlining different aspects of Motherhood that the day should honour. 'The Church – Our Mother', 'Mothers of Earthly Homes', 
'The Mother of Jesus' and 'Gifts of Mother Earth'

In more recent times, the day has also become known as #mothersday influenced by the American celebration of Motherhood. It is now heavily commercialised and can be a painful day for the bereaved, estranged or those who were unable to have children. 

So today we offer this prayer in thanks for our Mother church and for all our Mothers, remembering especially those for whom this day is difficult one 🙏🏼 🕊️

Well if nothing else this Winter, our Spring bulbs Well if nothing else this Winter, our Spring bulbs have been well watered! 😂☔

The snowdrops are starting to go over slightly in our Churchyard but the vibrant Crocuses are out in force beside the early Daffodils, providing a welcome carpet of colour 🫶🏼🪻🌼. We took advantage of the sunshine early yesterday morning to record them.

Bulb Teas are still being served each weekend in the village hall and on Sunday 22nd February, we warmly invite you to join us for our annual Bulb Service at St Jamestge Great which will be held at 3pm.

We even found the floodwaters a useful tool to capture a reflection of our ancient building. 

There's always a silver lining to everything  but sometimes you really have to search for it! 😂

God our creator, who in the beginning commanded th God our creator,
who in the beginning
commanded the light to shine out of darkness:
we pray that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ
may dispel the darkness of ignorance and unbelief,
shine into the hearts of all your people,
and reveal the knowledge of your glory
      in the face of Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
