NOTICESInvasion of Ukraine This is a fearsome action on behalf of Russia with effects and ramifications to be experienced by many people for a long time. Copies of a prayer which can be used is available today. The Archbishops have endorsed a plea by Pope Francis to make Ash Wednesday a special day of prayer and fasting.

Pancakes! Today is your last chance to buy tickets for the Shrove Tuesday party in the hall at 7.00pm. These are only £5 for a full cooked meal and drinks – what a bargain!

Please return your palm crosses to the back of church, so that they can be burnt to make the ash for Imposition on Ash Wednesday (March 2nd). There will be a Sung Mass that day at 7.30pm, which marks the beginning of the penitential season of Lent.

Outlook March's copy of the Parish Magazine is available online (holytrinitytaunton.org). There are a few hard copies available for those who are unable to access it electronically. Enjoy!

Sunday Lunch Club Don't forget that on the 2nd Sunday of the month (usually!) there's an opportunity to hang up your apron and go out for Sunday lunch, usually in Taunton itself. If you'd like to know more, please see Wendy Burge in person or via the Parish Office.

Lent Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. There will be no 10am Mass that day but instead a Sung Mass with the Imposition of Ashes at 7.30pm. Throughout Lent, there will be Stations of the Cross in the church at 6.00pm on Fridays (from 25th) and Compline (in the Vestry) from 8th March at 8.00pm. Lent savings boxes (in aid of the Additional Curates’ Society) are available at the back of church.

Any items for inclusion in next week’s Notice Sheet to be received at the Parish Office (on paper, email or phone) by THURSDAY MORNING, please.
