**********************************************
Mothering Sunday: A mother’s love is so special it’s worth celebrating and that’s what we will do today. But some people may find Mothers' Day difficult for lots of different reasons. Some people may not have a mother who they see any more. She may have died, or they just never knew her. Some parents find Mothers' Day sad because they have lost a child and still grieve. As well as celebrating the love of mothers, we always remember that Mothers' Day can be difficult as well. The Vicar can offer a confidential listening ear and prayer at this time, if that is something you would like.
Lent Lunch: This Friday St Nicholas will be hosting the Lent Lunch in the Broadway Rooms. Do try to come along if you can to enjoy some homemade soup and good company. Donations on the day are for the benefit of International Aid.
Easter Sunday: Following the Easter Eucharist at 10.45 we will be continuing our celebrations in the Broadway Rooms with a Jacobs Join lunch, Easter bonnet parade and quiz. It’s always a super afternoon and good to be together with the church family and new friends at this most special time in our church calendar. Please sign up at the back of church to tell us if you’re coming and how many you’re bringing. Be sure to I invite your family and friends. To help with the food and festivities for the Jacobs Join, we need sandwiches, sausage rolls, crisps, snacks, cakes, deserts etc. Chocolates and Easter eggs for prizes and raffle prizes. Or you might rather just make a financial donation towards drinks for the table? The main thing is that you come whether you are able to donate anything or not! It really is a lovely day to be together and to get to know new friends too. Come and join us!
