Reaching your neighbours - the Mezei's front window!

It feels like yesterday we were doing Christmas in our house. Last year we so enjoyed getting ready for it, celebrating Advent, probably the proper way for the first time. Lockdown has its uses J ! As Lent came round we asked ourselves why we give more importance to Advent and not to Lent. Surely both are as important! Both are amazing news for humanity. So we decided to do Advent the ‘right’ way this year. Of course, with a one and four year old, it might look a lot different to how others celebrate it, but we found ways to involve everyone in our family and to make it meaningful.

Every Moment Holy.

Every Moment Holy 100 ordinary moments in life become an opportunity to turn to the Lord and be aware of his constant presence.  'Every Moment Holy' is a new book providing prayers for a whole range of life's circumstances - some like drinking a cup of coffee are very ordinary, (and frequent for some of us), others are more significant life events e.g. the anniversary of loss and some, like a 'prayer for keeping bees', seem rather random!   Here's a taste of one of the prayers that turns an 'ordinary' moment into an opportunity to be conscious of our need of God's resurrecting work.    The book can be purchased from 10ofthose .  Whilst more details and videos will be discovered on the 'Every Moment Holy' website.
