John & Ruth's 16-yr-old grandson, Joseph, spoke well last Sunday, telling us of the Christian leadership course he is doing with a programme called Youth Meta (part of SOMA - https://somauk.org/who-we-are, an Anglican missions agency).  At the end of the course, they are going on a mission trip to Kenya in August, and Joseph is in the process of raising funds for this - it is not too late to donate to his Just Giving Page at https://gofund.me/c67f402b9.

The next Kintsugi Hope Wellbeing course starts at the St Barnabas Centre on 16 April at 7.30pm.  This gentle course encourages us to look after our own mental health and wellbeing, and to care for others who may be struggling.  The 12 week course looks at themes such as anxiety, depression, loss, self-acceptance, healthy relationships, and resilience.  Each session starts with refreshments, followed by opportunities to discuss and reflect on our experiences, building a toolkit for future use.  The course is free, and open to everyone, Christian and non-Christian.  The first week is a ‘taster session’.  Do sign up at https://www.stjamesthorley.church/kintsugihope if you are interested, and pass the details on to others.
