With the start of the Winter Olympics, we give thanks for the beauty of winter and the opportunity to witness these athletic feats.

With Shrove Tuesday on its way we thank you for the food we eat, the work of those who grow and provide it and our access to facilities to store and cook it. When times are hard, may we show kindness and compassion to those in need. We give thanks for the work of FIND and all those who provide food and shelter.
