Do you dream? It seems to me that many dreams are a combination of our memories and some random weird stuff that we can’t quite explain. I have a memory of my grandfather sitting in his armchair, and for many years after his death I had a recurring dream of him whizzing off into space…
Listening to or reading the news can be a dispiriting experience, we live in a world which is particularly divisive and fractured at the moment. But, as I write this on a lovely sunny day in our beautiful and largely peaceful county of Rutland, we can be thankful for all that we have and all…
Have you bothered God recently? I do it all the time, in fact I imagine that the almighty is fed up with my yakking (not really, I know that God is far more gracious than me). Prayer has been in the news recently, with President Trump holding prayer meetings asking God to bless the actions…
We now offer Children’s activities during all our Sunday Morning Services at St. Mary’s ketton, but we don’t keep the children out of sight or out of mind; we come together as a big family. Or, if you feel the need for a smaller, quieter space, All Saint’s ketton might be for you. We offer…

Children at our School adding their fingerprints to the Community Cross. The Cross is back in the prayer chapel at St. Mary’s now, come and have a look. The cross reminds us that there can be unity in diversity, all can be “one”, and that our God is truly inclusive.
This Sunday is Mothering Sunday; a time which evokes many different memories and emotions within people, and a day which itself can be interpreted in different ways.
