Lenten Cross
The Cross at the front of the Church is formed from the spines of previous Christmas trees. Trees
which were decorated to celebrate the birth of Christ, have been stripped bare, to focus now on His
suffering. Each week volunteers will place different symbols by the Cross, before it blooms again to
celebrate the hope and life of Easter.
Today we use a bag of money to symbolise Christ's betrayal.
The Ordination of the Reverend Simon Rose
Simon's ordination will take place on June 28th at Liverpool Anglican Cathedral at 6.00 pm.
He has been allocated 30 tickets to be divided between his 3 churches with the possibility of applying
for more if needed. I have been asked to investigate how many Keyworth friends would like to attend
the service, and whether we prefer to go together in a coach or make our own way there. If you are
interested, please let me know by March 29th so we can apply for more tickets if needed. Please say
also whether you prefer travelling by coach or private means.

Nottingham Civic Prayer said at the Holocaust Memorial Day 2015
‘O God, give us a vision for our City that it may be a City of justice, a City of prosperity
and a City of peace; in which vice and poverty cease to fester; children play in the
streets in safety and the elderly walk without fear.
Grant to this City of Nottingham such respect for all peoples, that work, education and
health are available for all.
Enlarge our minds, our wills and our hearts, that we may dream great dreams and
have the boldness to bring them into effect.
Hear thou, O Lord, the prayer of all our hearts.
Amen’
