One 2 Three

Paul talked about the Alpha course which enables people to ask big questions about every aspect of life. Yesterday evening the group of young people from his churches in Ingrave were discussing forgiveness. They felt it was easy to talk about until someone had done something that was really hard to forgive. However this could mean that “they lived in a space in your head rent free”, quoting Hilary Clinton. The only way to free this space is through forgiveness. Paul is chaplain to the British Legion in Brentwood. He said that he was keen to let older members know that when they were gone, their sacrifices and those who fell in combat would still be remembered. At St. Nicholas church the lychgate has all the names of those lost from the local community in WW1. Apart from Remembrance Sunday services in the churches, on the 11th of November at 11 minutes past 11 each year a time of Remembrance is held at the lychgate.
All the information relating to the churches can be found on the website, which is updated every week.
