Our lives have changed completely over the last twelve months, so much so that it will not be long before we will be thinking of the years prior to 2020 as the ‘Good Old Days’ because of all the freedoms we used to enjoy. As the pandemic and other pressing concerns such as climate change show, the natural world influences our lives profoundly, suggesting that we might well have to change our lifestyles in order to address these matters. Human behaviours have shaped both of these major issues in ways we do not fully comprehend and yet our Christian faith comforts us with the understanding of how God made the heavens and the earth, as related in Genesis. My thoughts then turn to this Easter 2021, and to how 2000 years ago an innocent man suffered the most brutal death (as foretold in the bible by the old testament prophets); of how this Jesus, born here on earth as God incarnate, came to teach us. To teach us how we should Love God our heavenly Father and our neighbours, as ourselves; to keep alive for future generations the hope of life after death. I recall those apt words from the hymn; ‘There is a green hill far away’: “He died that we may be forgiven, he died to make us good, that we might go at last to heaven, saved by his precious blood”. Compassion and love are so very much needed today, needed for those who are the innocent victims of crime, for those who are without adequate food or shelter, for the victims of injustice. We see such compassion and love in those working for us in the NHS, in Local Authorities, by food suppliers, by so many who work often without thought for themselves or their own situations. In this way perhaps we might all acknowledge the Holy Spirit in our daily lives, fashioning how we think, reminding us how to conduct ourselves in such a complex world. When we gather in our churches, spending a few moments of reflection in these holy places, we pray for a depth of understanding of God the Father, of His son Jesus Christ, of the Spirit our advocate, enabling us to live in hope and faithfulness, sharing the days ahead in harmony with our brothers and sisters in the world. If you feel that you could help to support your local Church, please send your donation to Adrian Rodford, Church Barn, Southburgh, IP25 7TF or cheque made payable to ‘Barnham Broom Group Fund’ or directly into the bank.

Garvestone, Reymerston & Thuxton Parish Council Following our request in February’s Group News for donations towards new benches for each of Garvestone, Reymerston and Thuxton, the Parish Council is delighted to have received donations totalling £1,085. Parish Council funds will pay the remaining £325 and the benches have now been ordered and we hope to install them soon. Look out for them on North Green (Reymerston), Dereham Road (Garvestone) and near the noticeboard (Thuxton). Many thanks to all the generous residents who so kindly donated towards these benches. They will be assets for the villages for years to come. The Parish Council has been holding its meetings virtually using Zoom throughout the pandemic.
