That was the advertising sign which used to be prominently shown at this time of year outside a shop in Nottingham years ago. What was it advertising? Gas mantles for gas lighting. It was a reminder that even though it was still the middle of summer, yet customers needed to prepare for the darker days of next winter.

Our schools will later this month begin their summer break and so teachers and children will be reviewing what progress they have made in the past school year. For some it will be an exciting time as they move on to new schools and new challenges. We wish well to those children and teachers who will be leaving the schools in our parishes for pastures new. We should also be praying for those who are preparing for the autumn when they will be coming to our schools.

What changes are happening in your life at present? Are you preparing for a new phase of your life whether it be a new school, a new job, a new home or even a new life of leisure as retirement looms. Times of change or transition can be anxious times. Perhaps you, or someone you know is full of foreboding about what the future will bring. If so, be assured that whatever change and confusion may surround you, yet there is one on whom you can rely – wherever you go, whatever you do, God is ready to go with you, guarding you and leading you – showing you his way forward for you. Pray that you and every one of us may know his presnce in all that we do and wherever we go.

God bless as you go forward today on the first day of the rest of your life. May you know his presence with you.

HELP!
I am trying to trace an aunt who was born in Boylestone in 1916 and lived there certainly up to 1931. Her name was Eliza Morley, and she lived with her grandparents William and Louisa Ann Morley at The Myers, Boylestone. William, a farmer, died in 1931 and was buried in the St John’s church yard. In his will he was generous to Eliza in gratitude for her “considerable help with my farm in my later years”.

I have not been able to find a record for either a marriage or a death of Eliza Morley, so if anyone in the village can shed any light on what happened to her after William’s death, I would be extremely happy to hear from them. Any information, however insignificant you may think it is, will be appreciated. Thank you.
