In the 12 years I have been doing window displays, I think this is the most times I’ve changed it after just a few days 😂

I wanted to support the #worcestershirebearhunt as well as the #rainbowtrail so #pershoreabi herself has set up home with her cousins in our front window here in Church Street. My thanks go to my long-suffering Husband who made Abi her Easter Bonnet which she is proudly wearing.
We’ve raided the fairy light stash as well to bring some rainbow colour if you are taking your exercise at night.
Of course we’ve also included a poster thanking our NHS, Carers and Key Workers 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I hope it brings a little cheer to people - even if it is just here on social media 🌈💕🕊

Then Noah sent out the dove from him, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground; but the dove found no place to set its foot, and it returned to him to the ark …
Doves are among the birds most often mentioned in the Bible. Noah sends one out to see if the land has recovered after the flood. The dove returns when it finds “no place to set its foot” and later does not come back, having found a new home.

In our own time, many bird species are in decline as the habitats that provide their homes are lost as a result of climate change, deforestation and intensive farming.

Intensive farming is associated with hedgerow loss and reduced biodiversity. When you buy fruit and vegetables, look out for produce from less intensive organic or LEAF-certified producers.

Today Rev Claire talks to us about our wider community and our linked church
St John’s Anglican Parish of Morogoro Diocese Tanzania which started in 2014.

The Parish started with four Churches which are, St. John’s, Mkundi, CCT and VETA. When the Parish started it had 505 members within the congregation. This has grown and is currently the 855. The number of Christians has grown up as a result of Mission and Evangelism.

St. John’s Parish operates under the leadership of the Priest in charge Revd Reginald Mdugi, who is assisted by Catechists and Church elders.
We have begun the process of being linked with St John’s. The first visit took place in 2018. We hope to be partners in some of St John’s exciting projects bringing educations to children and young people and supporting the work of the Mother’s Union as they visit prisoners.

They are currently praying for us during our difficult period of isolation which is truly appreciated and in return we remember them as we offer our prayers 🙏🏻

#pershoreabi is finding this social distancing very difficult to understand and today we have had to break it to her gently that we can’t have our traditional Easter Egg breakfast. I’m sorry to say there were a few tears 🙈 However bring a sensible little bear she can see how important it is that everyone stays safe.
So to cheer Abi up, Revd Claire suggested that she host a virtual Easter Egg Breakfast at 6am on Easter Sunday. Abi thought this was a wonderful idea and is now trawling through the cupboards looking for her prettiest egg cup.
So will you join in and send Abi photographs of your egg cups on Easter Sunday? It’s not the same but it’s the next best thing.

We may not be able to physically be together but let’s show that our Abbey Church Community is still thriving 🙏🏻❤️

Not something many of us like to think about but u

Not something many of us like to think about but unfortunately death is a part of life and during the next few weeks, funerals will be very different to what we are used to.
Only close family members are able to be present at graveside or Crematoriums. This can be distressing if you wanted to pay your respects in person. However there are ways that you can do this from home and we bring you these attached resources to help you.
Remember that you can also light a candle digitally which can be shared here on Facebook or Twitter.
https://www.churchofengland.org/life-events/funerals/light-candle

This time of isolation and social distancing will eventually pass. It may then be possible for a memorial service for your loved one to be held at a later date in one of our Benefice churches.
Your Funeral Director will be able to help and guide you through this current legislation whilst we are also available to support you as much as we can.
You can email us at office@pershoreabbey.org.uk or telephone us at 01386 552071.

This afternoon, #pershoreabi has been working on her #easterbonnet and invites you all, young and old, to join her in a virtual Easter Bonnet Parade here and on Facebook at 11 am on Sunday 12th April 2020.

We all have lots of time on our hands so why not put your creative talents to the test?

We had planned a lovely display of lilies in the Abbey for Easter Sunday but alas it is not to be this year due to the Covid_19 restrictions.
So we invite you to share with us photos of lilies that you have at home so that we can put together a virtual display.
If you are currently in social isolation then why not make some instead? Crafting can be very therapeutic.

This picture was sent to us by someone locally who is self isolating, suggesting that people might like to make a cardboard cross and decorate with flowers to put in their window this Eastertide.

It could be done more simply using cut out flowers from the gardening catalogue we had through the door recently.

If you do get creative, please share your photos with us as we would love to see them 🙌🏻

Thank you to all who sent in their Concerns and Ho

Thank you to all who sent in their Concerns and Hopes as part of our #Iona service and to Helen for compiling them for us
Here are our hopes:- Hopes:

Kindness, love and compassion. The growth of community.

Courage and sacrifice of essential workers and those supporting them.

A time to review our lives and priorities. Reconnection with ourselves, others, God and nature.

A change to our routine. Demonstration that the church still exists when you can't meet in the building.

Seeing the earth regenerate. Fresh air.
The joy of animals and children.
Hearing bird song and insects.

The constant, loving presence of God. Matthew 6 v25 - God knows what we need and will provide. Rainbows.

Governments, organisations and individuals around the world working together and sharing knowledge and resources.

Trust and respect for others that motivates us to change how we live for the sake of others and the long term good of all.

Please continue to pray for these 🙏🏻

These are the concerns our #iona community have regarding #covid_19 :- Thank you to all who sent in their Concerns and Hopes as part of our #Iona service and to Helen for compiling them for us 🙏🏻 Concerns:

The coronavirus seems to highlight the plight of the vulnerable in our society and around the world, including those in refugee camps, in prisons, undergoing medical treatment, the homeless, those struggling with mental health issues, those already socially isolated and frightened and those on whom we are relying to deal with the crisis, many of whom are poorly recognised and paid.

People's lack of understanding and refusal to take coronavirus seriously or responding in selfish ways such as over stocking and wasting food.

Our judgement of and attitude towards people who are different to ourselves, treating them without dignity.

Our lack of dependence on God but focusing on ourselves.

Unmotivated cruelty and violence.

Our unthinking, routine use of precious resources and damage to the environment.

Please use them for further prayer 🙏🏻

Did you take part in #earthhour last night? We did.
Our sincere thanks David who on his daily exercise last night partially switched the #pershoreabbey floodlights off for us.
#pershoreabi took part with #winniethepooh too. They turned the heating down, switched the lights out, cuddled up and lit a candle.
We think #earthdayeveryday and are helping to #careforcreation through things like our #ecochurch and #livelent2020
Why not think of ways that you can help do your bit? Everything helps. 🌍💚

None of us are safe from this #covid_19 Coronavirus. It is lurking everywhere in our midst and we MUST follow the guideline restrictions in place.
So as we think and pray for all those infected by this virus, we ask you to also join us in offering our prayers for our Government Ministers too - particularly our Prime Minister and Health Secretary who have tested positive for it. They have worked hard around the clock in recent weeks along with so many others up and down the country. 🙏🏻

Praying for those who are not able to attend the funerals of loved ones, and for anyone who will be mourning alone.
