Weekly Newsletter

8 February 2025

Our church is committed to making all activities as open and accessible to all

I'm going to be honest I think that February is my least favourite month of the year. Christmas seems like a distant memory and spring and summer feel too far away. Valentine’s day and half term are about the only positive things going for it.  If you don't have children and aren't involved romantically with anyone then the month takes an even more depressing turn.  So let's get away from depressing things and look for some reasons to be cheerful. 

First of all I have air in my lungs.  Being alive is a gift from God.  The psalmist who wrote psalm 118 could well have been writing it in an English February, as he says "This is the day that the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it."  It's a reminder that every day is a gift.

Choosing to look for the small things in life and be thankful for them can change everything. My house, my family, my friends, the fact that today is sunny.  That I have clothes to wear and food to eat, all of these things are reasons to be thankful and cheerful.  I haven't even mentioned more people coming to church, the great Christmas that we enjoyed, and Watford haven't sacked their manager in 2025 (so the last one is quite personal and football related I do apologise). 

If your feeling low, start by giving thanks for the small things.  Small changes make a big difference.

difference.  Finally remember summer really is coming.

Have a great week,
