Thought for the Week: Memories

Connie Hazell reflects on on community and encouragement

by Connie Hazell 9th November 2018

Reading reports of anti-Semitism in the UK saddens me, but also brings back memories of my childhood when into our road of about thirty houses moved the Jacobs family – father, mother, a little boy of six and a little girl of four. We were a close-knit community. Almost every house had children in it, most of whom went to the primary school in the next road and the majority going to the Methodist Sunday School just around the corner.
