"To see the world in a grain of sand..."

- William Blake

    'Fear is fun and good is dull' is the subliminal message of Hallowe'en. Addressing that means drawing on all the rich imagery of the dynamism and energy of 'love', which is richly portrayed in Hogwarts, amongst other cultural reference points

    How to make a 'Muggle Patronus 

Welcome to Grain of Sand

Life can be hectic and full of pressure. Finding space and time to reflect on deeper meaning can be a challenge. Grain of Sand is about noticing and nurturing the connections that hold all things together – connecting different aspects of  ourselves, connecting with loved ones and with the wider world. We hope that our material is accessible to all, whilst being open about its Christian ethos. ‘Cards' and ‘Gifts' draw on a mix of original writing and Bible verses to encourage friendships and families whilst 'churches and chaplaincies' offers material that relates the deeper connections in life to Biblical teaching.
