NIKKI WRITES….. Revd. Sr Nikki Thornhill Curate of the Parish

Dear Friends,

This week both at St Breock and Wadebridge Primary School ‘Open The Book’ Team have

been presenting the Easter Story from a soldier’s perspective. What fascinated me most was how all of the children engaged with the story. They sat so still and listened so attentively.

The story tells about a soldier who stands on the side lines and watches as Jesus is tried by Pilate and then crucified. He reflects upon the unjust way Jesus was treated particularly as Jesus was innocent of all charges. He kept using the phrase “that’s not right” which he also repeated when he witnessed the empty tomb and the risen Christ. When the story had finished the children were then asked to reflect upon a time when they knew something they saw or heard was wrong or when someone was treated unfairly. They were asked how it made them feel and to think about what they could have done about it. Although I have this read this story many times, it still caused me to stop, reflect, and look at it again from a different perspective. May I encourage you all to do the same.

Happy Easter Revd Nikki

Happy Easter Folk Festival Weekend Revd Nikki We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting some of the Folk Festival Concerts

during our Craft Fayre weekend. The Craft Fayre Committee will be working with the Folk Festival organisers to plan a fun packed weekend and hopefully bring lots of traffic through the Church doors. We will be hosting the Folk Festival Opening concert with Naomi Bedford, Paper Circus and supporting acts. On the Friday night, we look forward to hearing bands Joli Blon and Flat’s and Sharps. We think this is a great opportunity to engage with our wonderful town and get people into our Churches who wouldn’t normally get to experience the acoustics and spaces that our amazing historical buildings can offer. We will also have Egloshayle Church on the Folk Festival Maps and listings of events which should highlight our Church Fund Raising Craft Fayre and Teddy Bear Jump. Every little helps as they say!
