From Waltham Cottage: “On behalf of the entire Cottage community, we want to extend our deepest gratitude for your weekly food donations. Your generosity quite literally transforms our emergency food cupboard. Families and individuals often find the cost of living difficult to manage and when circumstances are beyond their control, they come to us for help. For many of our neighbours, your donation is the difference between a stressful week and a full table. Thank you for your continued partnership and for being such a vital support system for those in need”. Cheryl & Laura

The Beatitudes
We bless you, who have spelt your blessings out,
And set this lovely lantern on a hill
Lightening darkness and dispelling doubt
By lifting for a little while the veil.
For longing is the veil of satisfaction
And grief the veil of future happiness
We glimpse beneath the veil of persecution
The coming kingdom’s overflowing bliss
Oh make us pure of heart and help us see
Amongst the shadows and amidst the mourning
The promised Comforter, alive and free,
The kingdom coming and the Son returning,
That even in this pre-dawn dark we might
At once reveal and revel in your light.
Malcolm Guite
