Dear All

What a full week, thank you to the many of you who are journeying together through Lent with our Bible study – The Bible Course. It is really lovely to have you all at the Rectory on Wednesdays. As we move closer and closer to Easter, we have a taste of it this Sunday in our Family Service, as this is the only opportunity to celebrate and remember Easter with our Family service congregation. Don’t forget you are all welcome to come to this service and we will be starting with breakfast at 9.30 am and starting the service gently at 10.00 am, which will last for about 45 mins to 1 hour.

If you are taking part in our Lent Challenge this week we will be providing dried goods for the Pop-Up shop, please place in the green box by the font.

We are celebrating the World Day of Prayer tomorrow at St James at 10.00 am, we are hosting this service this year using the service that has been prepared by an ecumenical group of Christian women from Palestine, the land in which Jesus was born, ministered and died, where the Christian faith began and is rooted. It is also an opportunity to come together to pray for the situation in the Holy Land at the moment

We also have a community dog walk starting from St James this week on Sunday 3rd March at 2.30 pm, please come and walk with us if you can, or come and eat cake from 3.30 pm😊

Don’t forget every Tuesday morning we now have an online prayer meeting where we can join together to pray for our whole Benefice. The link is on the Welcome sheet, but here it is if you are looking for it:
