This is Holy Week, the most holy and deeply moving week of the Christian Year. As we journey towards Good Friday, we remember the passion, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus and pray:
Who else but God could take a cross that represented defeat and turn it into a symbol of Victory?
Who else but God could take a cross that represented guilt and turn into a symbol for Grace?
Who else but God could take a cross that represented condemnation and turn it into a symbol of Freedom?
Who else but God could take a cross that represented pain and suffering and turn it into a symbol of Healing and Hope?
Who else but God could take a cross that represented death and turn it into a symbol of Life?
Blessings and Peace.

Covid-19 and self-isolation? The council is here to help
If you’re asked to self-isolate, it’s really important that you do so for the full ten days.
Solihull Council understands that this can be difficult and has local teams who can arrange help and support.
This could be anything from financial help to shopping vouchers and priority delivery slots to fuel top ups. Even help with dog walking!
If you’re experiencing financial hardship we can help with white goods like fridge replacements too.
We can also provide emotional support and have people on hand for a friendly chat if you’re struggling with self-isolation.
As lockdown eases over the coming months, it’s going to be even more important to self-isolate when asked to. It’s not easy, but by self-isolating you’ll be helping everyone to get back to normal as quickly as possible.
So please, if you need help, just call 0121 704 6793 or visit the council website www.solihull.gov.uk/Covid-19/here2help
And if you need help with something we don’t currently provide, please let us know at contacttracing@solihull.gov.uk and we’ll see what we can do to increase our support.
Thank you
