Fit more active travel into your day and daily routine. As the weather warms up, it’s worth considering what journeys can be made by walking or cycling. Could you get off a stop early to walk the rest of your journey, take a relaxing stroll home, or hop on a bike and enjoy a cycle friendly route? If you prefer exploring outdoors on foot, find out if there’s a local Ramblers group.

Celebrate Spring! Make sure you’re giving yourself quality time enjoying creation: smelling the blossom, tapping catkins, copying bird song, finding a footprint or identifying spring flowers with the Pl@ntNet app. Nature can boost our happiness so take time to observe nature in your gardens, on your balconies, and in your local green spaces.

Although our church buildings are now closed again for public worship, they remain open for private prayer, and the church will continue to meet to worship online. This time, the bishops of the Church of England and leaders of other faiths have endorsed a public letter strongly protesting about the closure of church buildings for public worship. Our acts of service to the wider community are energised by the practice of our faith; receiving the sacraments are not just another 'leisure activity', they're how Christians are sustained in the spiritual journey. Our public acts of worship are a communal good.

One of my goals, says Bishop Richard, is that we stop using the word "Diocese" to describe a disembodied tax-collecting authority based in Hereford, but instead use it to describe "us" -- a family of believers seeking to live out the Gospel in the Diocese of Hereford.

But what we do in faith is never forgotten by the Lord. Watch to hear more about why our bishop likes St Matthias, perhaps the 'patron saint of unsung heroes'!
