Willing to descend, to bend
to wash his pupils’ dirty feet.
although he is the King Supreme,
with knowledge full,
wisdom complete.
If you desire, feel you deserve
attention and respect,
‘roll up your sleeves’, to kindly serve,
nor be too proud for humble chores,
to bend your knees, scrub dirty floors!
'The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.’ Mark 10:45
‘Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel round his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet…’ John 13: 3-5
Bringsty Common
This large area of common land near Bromyard is a
great place for walkers. The area covers over 200 acres with lots of
footpaths to follow to the common's lakes, streams and pockets of
woodland. Look out for pretty bluebells in the spring and a variety of
birdlife on your walk. There's also splendid views towards the Malvern Hills
and the surrounding Worcestershire and Herefordshire countryside. You
can enjoy refreshments in the common-side cafe or pub after your
exercise.
It's easy to extend your walk by heading to the Brockhampton Estate
which is right next to the common. The 1,700 acre estate has lots of
good walking trails, a lake, streams and woodland to explore.
The Worcestershire Way
runs through Knightwick, just to the east of the common. The path will
take you south to Ravenshill Wood and the Suckley Hills. Head north and
you can visit Woodbury Hill, the River Teme valley and Abberley.
