Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be any more rain in these parts, the skies become dark and the rain begins again. The weather has been flip flopping from bright blue skies interspersed with clouds and chilly crisp temps, to downpours upon downpours. One of my robins in the garden is, as is all nature, just taking it in his stride and appears with the brighter spells.
This past storm Eowyn has been quite harsh, especially in the north. The Met Office names these storms in alphabetical order with suggested names from the public, collaborating with the weather services from the Netherlands and Northern Ireland. The next name on the list is Floris. Spring is not that far away..
Yesterday evening church was cancelled in Chawton due to the power cuts. We hope we got the message out via sign, email, text and phone plus social media. It was a dirty night. Hope all are safe.
Prayer of the week
Let us keep the same prayer going for the hostages to be returned in Israel, after a hiccup, and that Gaza can return to at least pick up the pieces of whatever is left, mourn and start again.
Calendar up next
If you are walking those dogs. Find a gap and go quickly. Things seem to change in a heartbeat!! How wet do you and pooch want to get!

Last night we shared yet another lovely mid week break and gathering on zoom. Thank you everyone for prayers and readings to soothe us and make us think.
Please continue to pray for the cease fire in Gaza, and the release of the hostages.
Clairvoyance and education Sunday in Chawton!

Our lovely Nerina chaired for our gathering with visiting medium Russell Haworth. We had a lovely evening.
This video shows three mediums all working, sharing short messages.
Last Sunday, we had three mediums delivering short messages while Rob provided insightful explanations about how these messages were being conveyed and what the mediums were sensing around them. This is something we plan to bring beyond the Church setting soon. We’re looking to host events where Rob can discuss topics like ghosts, spiritualism, life after death, and answer questions from the audience. The second part of the evening will feature live demonstrations, similar to what you see in this video.

With the UK annual birdwatch coming up this week between the 24th and 26th January, I was thinking about the humble House Sparrow that I do not see much in my garden. There was quite a decline in them but apparently they are making a comeback. They are inquisitive little ones with the males much more striking in appearance than the duller looking females. They like being close to human habitat and hopefully most folk are seeing them increase in numbers in their gardens and their local parks.
Loss of habitat, nesting areas and enjoyed food source drove their numbers down, as with most birds, hence the annual birdwatch this time every year to help understand which species needs a little extra help, as we all do when those chips are down.
But things were very good in Chawton last night. We had a lovely evening as Russell Haworth came to visit. He is a newer medium to us and we had a lovely time, as he spoke on kindness and actually gave us a task to go away with, and then brought some lovely messages for us!! Thank you so much Russell! We will look forward to seeing you later in the year. Thank you to Nerina who chaired the evening so graciously also.
We enjoyed lovely readings and prayers from the family, Julie on music. Carole and a smorgasbord of baked goods!! We are so spoilt! Sue with our hospitality, healers on hand afterwards and all the set up and breakdown making it light quick work!!
Prayer of the week
Please pray for the ceasefire in the Middle East. We pray it will hold and that all the hostages will be returned, and families can celebrate or at the very least gain a closure after more than a year of uncertainty and heartbreak. Also that those in Gaza can receive supplies and have Peace whilst they deal with the devastation of their homeland.
Calendar up next.
Wrap up out there. It is still pretty cold!!
