In my final Monday worship of this school year, I want us to think about 'Moving on...' and about being famous.  Is it something you want to be?  What can we learn from others who have moved on?

Whatever you do and wherever you go next, you will always be a part of the St Matthew's family and…

In this week's worship we are thinking about the elderly members of our families and communities.  Often they ahve spent much of their lives caring for their children and grandchildren or other members of their community.  We will learn that it is so important that we do what we can to thank them…
