Dear All

As we look forward to Easter we have a few things to mark the beginning of Lent:-

A study course (see details below), our annual Pancake party and our Ash Wednesday service on Wednesday 14th February in St James church at 7.30 pm.

Some information for you that I could not fit on the Welcome Sheet:-

We are starting our Lent Course and will be studying The Bible Course which will give us all a rich overview of the Bible as a whole and how it all fits together. Helping us to get The Big Picture. There will be a study book for you to look at the back of church and a sign up sheet so we can order the study books at a cost of £5.00 per head.

Each session is video led and using the study book with questions. We will meet in the Rectory at 7.30 pm and there are 8 sessions which will take us beyond Lent slightly and so the dates are as follows:-

21/2/2024, 28/2/2024, 6/3/2024, 13/3/2024, 20/3/2024, 27/3/2024, 24/4/2024, 1/05/2024

Also, may I draw your attention to the 2 events that are happening in February:

13th February 2024 – Annual Pancake Party at Gilston Village Hall (see attached flyer) – 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm. I know some of you helped to make this event a great success last year and I would ask, if you can, to volunteer again this year and let me know if you can help with set up, or during the event or tidying away.

24th February 2024 – The Quiz Night – see the flyer attached. We would value your support for this event by drawing a team together and coming to have some fun.

Tuesday morning 9.30 am – prayer meeting (this link remains the same every Tuesday
