Hildesley Court 

Jean L prepared and led the service this month, her theme was, forgiveness. We are currently in the season of Lent, and Lent is all about forgiveness. Our first prayer was shared by Jean W, thinking about the Mothers Union in Africa. Several members of the Hildesley Court Team are also members of this Worldwide Organisation. Our first hymn was As we are Gathered which we sang through twice. Sue followed this with some verses from Psalm 51. Our next Hymn was Dear Lord and Father of Mankind. Alan read a passage by Eddie Askew based on a reading from St Matthew’s Gospel. Rev .Sharon conducted our Communion Service and Bea assisted her in the giving of The Blessed Sacraments. Maggie focussed our thinking on Spring, with a little poem about Snowdrops. Our final hymn was, the beautiful, Make Me a Channel of Your Peace. Alberts final Prayer ‘To Forgive ” Seventy Times and Seven’, We closed our Service with Rev. Sharon’s Blessing. Our next service at Hildesley Court will be on March 18th. All are welcome. God Bless You from the Hildesley Court Team.
