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 church will be open daily from 10am-11am for prayer, as well as all day, as usual, on Tuesdays and Thursday.

Lend with Care, part of CARE International, is working with People In Need and asks us for donations to their humanitarian aid programme in Ukraine and the neighbouring countries which have given refugees shelter. Please log on to careinternational.org.uk or put a donation in the jar at the back of church. Our lives are difficult since Covid, but not as hard as the lives of those of Ukraine. Please help. Thank you.

Pancakes! We are most grateful to Jenni and her team for all their hard work to make our Shrove Tuesday party so enjoyable and fun!
