What a handsome fellow this one is. The Greater Spotted Woodpecker, seen more easily with the leafless trees against some now beautiful blue skies.

He drums away on that bark, and thankfully doesn’t give himself a headache, due to a special bone called the hyoid bone which wraps around his skull, and protects his brain.

The need to drill endlessly into the trees is not just to nest but to communicate, and he has cleverly figured out that if he chooses the harder dead trees, his messages will carry further. Clever chap!

Well our messages Sunday carried to the edge of our Sanctuary!

The fledglings were up!! I think just about everyone got a message or connection. Well done and thank you Sarah, Chris Elliot and Alison!!

The fledglings were under the watchful eye of Nerina chairing the evening, and Steve holding the fort at the back. Such a supportive atmosphere. Thank you for beautiful prayers and readings, and some really nice hymns. Thank you Lisa for running our music. Thankyou Carol for yummy cake, Food angel Sue and our Healers and everyone who helps on a Sunday evening!!

Prayer of the week.

Please pray for our Leaders in this world. So much rests on them to make compassionate wise decisions.

Calendar up next.

We are back….Give yourself the gift for the New Year..

Last night in Chawton Steve chaired well for us, and Rob gave our address and messages!! We had a lovely evening.

A cheery winter Pansy to brighten up the start to this New Year which has been filled with endless and I do mean endless rain!! The cold snap has been promised and there is another chill in the air coming, but these hardy flowers will manage through it all and keep us in hope of a Spring time.

Our Garden Pansies in general, actually originated in Buckinghamshire in the 1800’s. where a Lord Gambier and his gardener William Thompson began to cross Viola species. All Pansies, winter and otherwise, are very hardy despite their pretty colourful look. They are also able sometimes to come back for a second bloom, so two for the price of one makes it a favourite.

The name Pansy comes from the French word Pense’e for thought, and we all took a moment to be in thought as we started the service last night, and so we had a Rededication, stating our beliefs to take us forward. We had a lovely time, as we heard beautiful readings and prayers and sang hymns, and it was just so nice to see everyone after the Christmas/ New Year break!!

Steve chaired us well, and Rob gave our address helping us to understand Clairvoyance not from just our perspective, but from those who join us. He gave some lovely messages for some of us, and explained things as he went along. Just a lovely evening with more yummy cake. (We are so blessed to have great cake makers!!)

Thank you Julie on music, Healers on hand after the service, and everyone who just makes this happen in Chawton on a Sunday evening. We are back!!

Prayer of the week.

Please pray for our Church as we travel through this year. We are small but we want to do some great things this year!!

Calendar up tomorrow.

Wrap up. I think it’s going to get chilly!!
