Forgiveness "
Being
forgiving
is giving someone another chance after they have
done something wrong, knowing that everyone makes
mistakes.
It is making amends instead of taking revenge. Forgiveness
is moving ahead, ready to act differently, with
compassion for yourself and faith that you can change.
We practise
forgiveness
when we:
remember that everyone makes mistakes take
responsibility for our own mistakes share
your feelings without taking revenge
This weeks recipients

Ash
Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent,
which are the 40 days leading up to Easter. During Lent,
people are encouraged 'turn back to God'. He calls us
to be new creations, to let go of our old selves and
put on the new. Lent gives us the spiritual opportunity
to change. Over this time of Lent we are encouraged
to give something up or take something on in the belief
that in doing so it will bring us closer to God. We
are going to church this Wednesday at 10am to receive
ashes on our foreheads. This is a visual symbol that
we want to try and be better.
Black
& Red Mufti Day

of young children in their parenting role. If you care about our

training programme to make this happen. There will be an introductory
