A PRAYER FOR ALL IN UKRAINE

God of peace and justice,

Send your blessing on the people of Ukraine.

Sustain them in their courage,

and be for them the hope they desire;

for Jesus Christ’s sake.

BUG HOTEL

St. Mary’s Stapleford Abbotts were pleased to welcome members from Essex Wildlife Trust and “The Linkup Flying Squad”  who along with church volunteers built a Bug Hotel in the church yard.

It was all constructed with unwanted materials, kindly donated from various sources. The aim is that Bumble Bees and Solitary Bees which are declining in numbers, along with other invertebrates will use the hotel and find it a suitable habitat. The first residents are eagerly awaited!
