Ann Howarth RIP – Ann’s family have kindly invited their Mum’s friends from St Nicholas to join them at the North Euston after Ann’s funeral a week on Monday. If you are able to join them, please add you name to the list at the back of church today.
Lent Daily Reflections: Desmond Tutu once said, “Each one of us is meant to have that space inside where we can hear God’s voice because God is available to all of us.” As Lent is approaching the Diocese have once again provided an excellent booklet of daily reflections to guide us through this holy season of preparation. The books are available from today at the back of church. Please take a copy for yourself and an extra one for anyone to whom you would like to gift it. Then be sure to set aside some time each day during Lent to spend time in God’s presence and to hear his voice.
Keeping Church Open: Are you free for 90 minutes once a week or once a fortnight to help us keep the Church open Monday to Friday from 11 am? This is an important ministry that we offer to the community and though we are not inundated with visitors, the people who do come in, really appreciate the holiness and peace of being in church. Please see Karen if you can help.
Snagging List: If you notice something in church or in the church grounds which requires ‘fixing’ our maintenance team will be happy to attend to it. Please write the issue on the list at the back of church.
