love you endlessly.

Perhaps it’s your children becoming wayward, or the state of your finances that worries you. Help may seem far away, which can cause anxiety that leads to depression.

However, note that despite being dead for four days, Lazarus was resurrected once Christ came to the scene.

Regardless of where you are in your journey, no matter how bad things look, if you heed the advice of Philippians 4:7 you will find perfect peace.

I believe that when we learn to rely on God and invite Him in, our anxiety reduces significantly. He can give you unexplainable peace; God has got your back.

He supports us so we are not emotionally wrecked.

This month my prayer is that, amidst our busy lives and countless needs, we will learn to entrust our worries to God.

The Gospel of Matthew entreats us not to worry about what we will eat or wear and finally not to worry about tomorrow.

I know it sounds hard to comprehend amid all the challenges, but I believe God can take care of our needs daily. Don’t be anxious!

n FRIENDS OF EASTVILLE PARK

IT'S an exciting time in the park, as play area renovations begin from June 5.

The upper play park will be out of action for five weeks while the new equipment is installed. This will make the park appealing for older children age 8-plus, with a zip line, new swings, climbing nets and trim trail.

The lower park play area will still be in use and unaffected by the renovations, which will be complete before the summer holidays.

The play area renovations have been funded by a combination of Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and funds raised by the Friends of Eastville Park, some of which came from festivals Love Saves The Day and Tokyo World 2018.

We are very happy to be finally seeing these funds spent in the park, along with the addition of benches both in the play area and throughout the rest of the park.

We have submitted a further CIL bid for the 2023 funding round, with the support of Eastville's Green Party and Labour Party councillors, in the hope that we will be able to improve the play area for younger children before the current play equipment is removed, as it reaches end of life.

We’d love to hear from if you know of any funding grants available for community groups or charities that could help reach the funding goal of around £30,000 to £40,000.

If you have questions for the council during any part of the play area refurbishment, contact the council by email at landscapes@bristol.gov.uk.

The current play area was built after World War II, and stands on the site of the former bomb crater from an air raid, which also permanently damaged the outdoor pool and killed four teenagers.

Last chance for booster jabs

PEOPLE aged 75 and over or have a weakened immune system are being urged to come forward to have a Covid booster jab by the end of the month.

The current offer of first and second vaccinations will end at the same time as spring vaccinations, on June 30.

After that date the NHS will concentrate on targeting people judged to be at increased
