The Five Alive Parish Lent Lunches 2025

During Lent, simple lunches are being held in our villages raising money for various charities. All are welcome to go to any of the following in…..

Fladbury Village Hall on

Thursday 27 March from 12noon

in aid of The Brain Tumour Charity –contact Jane Bugg, email [email protected] or phone 01386 860531.

Lower Moor at the Old Chestnut Tree Inn on

Thursday 3 April from 12.30pm to 2pm

in aid of RNIB supporting blind people and those with visual impairments.

Looking ahead – the Church tomorrow

We all recognise the changing culture of our churches but what will the Church look like in this area in 5 – 10 years’ time?

None of us know what talents will emerge over these years – we are constantly surprised by the activity of the Holy Spirit, and yet we do know things don’t stay the same, and that good foundations help anything new to flourish.

Please come and join us on Saturday 5 April at 10:00am at Holland House to talk, to pray, to note the signs of where we see the Holy Spirit active today and to ask, “What is this telling us?”.

The morning will conclude by 12.30pm. It would help Holland House to know how much cake to bake if you could let me know in advance if you are coming, but don’t worry if you don’t – still come!
