  Christ the King Collective Worship on Tuesday 27th November 2018 We reflected on different images of Jesus: teacher, healer, friend,
shepherd and King. Jesus was a king, but he was different from other kings. He didn’t live in a palace. He didn't wear a beautiful robe or a jewelled crown. He had no servants to wait on him. He had no soldiers to fight his battles. He didn't even have a country over which to rule over because he ruled over the Kingdom of God. Jesus is King of Kings, the King of Heaven. Bishop Michael, the Bishop of Hertford, led our service, along with children from Year 4. He said, “It was inspiring to be part of the collective worship – just brilliant to see the children take full roles as leaders of the liturgy.” The
children said, “We were excited to have Bishop Michael there. He made it even
more special.”  Remembrance Collective Worship on Tuesday 6th November 2018 Today we remember all those from Stotfold who were caught up in the courageous but tragic events of the First World War.  We remember those who were killed in battle, or by disease, the wounded and those who suffered permanent physical and mental injuries. According to the 1911 census, Stotfold was a tiny village. Only 3,128 people lived here. During the war 61 men died. Nearly every person in Stotfold would have lost a husband, brother, son or uncle or a friend in the First World War. A book is kept in the church and lists all the names of the men from Stofold who died in The First World War. As we remember those who fought and those friends and family who remained at home in this community, let us pray that God will heal all memories, speak a word of peace, and bring us his healing.

many countries around the world there is a 6th January Epiphany Day tradition
of blessing a home by writing in chalk above the front door the New Year and
the initials C M B: The initials are from the first letter of the names of the three Magi or Wise Men from the East who visited baby Jesus: Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. The initials, C, M, B, can also be interpreted as the Latin phrase "Christus mansionem benedicat" which means "Christ bless this house". The + signs represent the cross and 2018 is the year. This year the students of St Mary’s Academy have blessed their school following this tradition. We invite you and your family to ask for God’s blessing on your home and all those who live in or visit it. It is an invitation for Jesus to be a daily guest in our home, our comings and goings, our work and play, our joys and sorrows. Use the chalk to mark the lintel of your front door (or front porch step) as follows: 20 + C + M + B + 18 while saying: The
three Wise Men, Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar followed the star of God’s Son
who became human two thousand and seventeen years ago. May Christ bless our
home and remain with us throughout the new year. Amen.  Please look at our pictures page for more photographs following our Christingle Collective Worship led by Rev'd Bill, in which we made our first 'human Christingle'!   |
