Today Revd Claire talks to us about our favourite meals and how we realise the importance of sharing them together which we are missing in these days of social distancing. But we remain grateful for the easing of restrictions to allow us to meet again, albeit from a distance.

Tomorrow is the beginning of #childrensgardeningwe Tomorrow is the beginning of #childrensgardeningweek2020 and #pershoreabi braved the high winds to water the plants around St Andrew’s. Abi loves flowers - it brings her great joy to see the colourful blooms of each Season shining like jewels from the earth. In the Summer she loves nothing more than to watch the bumble bees and butterflies amongst them and marvels at the loving care that God puts into creation. During this lockdown period, why not visit the website https://www.childrensgardeningweek.co.uk/ for ideas of how you can help your little bears learn more about gardening? Or take a look at our #BabiesandToddlers latest newsletter on our website?

Today for our Meet The Ministers feature, we bring you our Abbey Reader Peter Stansbie:- “I am a ‘Brummie’ by birth and started work at Cadbury where I was a Commercial Apprentice when I finished school. After leaving Cadbury I worked for Coventry Council and Alfred Herbert Ltd before joining the NHS in 1972. I continued to work for and with the NHS until my retirement in 2011. I managed several Hospitals and Health Authorities reaching CEO level in Birmingham, Warwickshire and Wales.

We have a full itinerary of #ve75 events for this We have a full itinerary of #ve75 events for this Friday 8th May which we are busy working hard on behind the scenes. This includes our own events as well as national ones which we have scheduled for you. Please do share this with your friends who may be interested . Why not make your own Union flag or create a display in your home? We would love to see photos if you do to help us document how #pershore commemorated VE75 during lockdown. Our external display will be at St Andrew’s from 10am on Friday so please do take a look if you are passing on your daily exercise. If not then we will post photos on here at 10am. We ask that people do not touch anything on display to limit the risk of infection but do tag us in your photos. Although the main war memorial sadly can’t be accessed, we have 3 external memorials close by if you want to pay your respects. The Town Clock is a lasting tribute to those who died during WW2, the Commemorative Garden dedicated to all those who have served our country and the new WarHorse memorial is dedicated to all the animals who have served. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Here at #pershoreabbeycommunity we have made prepa Here at #pershoreabbeycommunity we have made preparations for a virtual #ve75 commemoration. Events that had been planned inside #pershoreabbey including a concert and a service with local schools have had to be cancelled along with national events due to the social distancing guidelines. The organisers of VE75 are asking people undertake the #nationstoast to the Heroes of #ww2 at 3pm on Friday 8th May from their own homes. Meanwhile Local BBC radio are encouraging people to make their own #greatbritishbunting As well as supporting these, we are asking that people consider making their own Union flag or decorate their houses as a mark of respect for all those who suffered or lost their lives during the Second World War. One member has already used the lockdown summer weather to paint a wall of Remembrance in her garden. In conjunction with the Facebook group #pershorerocks the Abbey hopes to put on a display of poppy stones that have been painted by local artists to commemorate the event. This will hopefully be situated outdoors close to the Abbey for people to see on their daily exercise. Revd Claire Lording says “We are mindful that commemorations will have to be somewhat lower key due to the difficult times we are having to endure and with so many suffering as a consequence of this virus. However we need to try and have other things to work towards in order to keep morale up. This is an event that cannot pass by without being marked and this year more than any we should be able to identify with the Blitz spirit. We can’t celebrate together but we are fortunate enough for some of us to be able to keep in contact via our social media channels.’

We welcome the first FWW Newsletter. This first o We welcome the first FWW Newsletter. This first one contains information about the Chaplaincy Impact Survey which was undertaken in January and February of this year. The purpose of the survey was to evaluate the work which our chaplains undertake, and fundamentally to ask, “Does Workplace Chaplaincy make any difference?” The results of that extensive survey have now been analysed and the results are available to look over on their website https://www.faithatwork.org.uk/

John 19.41-42 41 Now there was a garden in the pla John 19.41-42 41 Now there was a garden in the place where he was crucified, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. 42 And so, because it was the Jewish day of Preparation, and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there. Good morning everyone on this #holysaturday 🎚 We would have had beautiful white lilies arranged in the Abbey for tomorrow but sadly that’s not to be this year. #pershoreabi wasn’t able to find any white lilies so we bought her a yellow Lily Easter plant and some white roses instead. She wanted to show you her Easter Garden too. This is made from bits of Cotswold Stone collected on our daily walks to the Abbey Park and the sand is made from tiny bits of stone on the floor fell down from the Abbey itself which we ground down. The moss was growing in our parsley pot! So this garden has very special significance for Abi and has bridged a gap whilst our Abbey building is closed
