This Week

The third of our Lenten themes is Give. To help us, we listened to the account of Jesus healing the blind man (John 9). Jesus restores the man’s sight and suddenly, as everyone else is thrown into confusion, he is the only one who can see clearly. As we sang our song, ‘Every move I make’ we were reminded that ‘everywhere I go, I see your face!’ Sometimes our behaviour suggests that we do not recognise that every single person that we meet is made in the image and likeness of God, so it really is true to say that when we look at another person, we are looking into the face of God. This should change our behaviour. Jesus reminded us of this when he tells us ‘whatever you do to even the least of these brothers and sisters, you are doing it to me.’

In this season of Lent we are called to see those opportunities that we are given every single day to act with love, compassion and concern for all those people we meet our family at home and in school, and in our wider community. Perhaps this week we can look out for those opportunities to truly treat others as children of God.

There have been a couple of equine virus outbreaks in the area. Those who have their own horses or who ride elsewhere, please make sure you wear a different set of clothes and wash your hands before coming to equestrian.

Roxy and Mouse had physio last Saturday and really enjoyed it! On Monday, Charlie had a saddler visit to readjust his saddles, and the rest of the horses had a visit from the saddler on Friday.

It is important the horses saddles and backs to be checked to make sure that they aren’t in any pain or discomfort when they are ridden.

The horse of the week is Wizard!
