**********************************************
Messy Lent: What a fabulous morning we had at Messy Church on Saturday with arts and crafts, puppets and a treasure hunt and all with a Lenten theme. It really is a joy to be able to provide this ministry to the families in our community, particularly to those with whom we have made connections through St Nic’s Little Gang and Family & Co, (our 4pm Sunday worship). Massive shout out and much thanks to Janet and her team for putting it all together and delivering an excellent morning once again.
Sunday 3rd of Lent: marks 18 days into our Lenten journey, we still have a way to go! That said plans are already underway for our ‘dramatized reading’ of Matthew’s Passion on Palm Sunday, together with a range of services and gatherings to take us through Holy week and on to the climax of Easter Sunday.
Last year following the Easter Eucharist at 10.45 many of us continued the Easter celebrations in the Broadway Rooms with a Jacobs Join lunch, Easter bonnet parade and quiz. It was a super afternoon and great to be together with the church family and new friends for this most special time in our church calendar.
We would like to do it again this year with your help! 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, the more the merrier. 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!
Dorothy Angel: Has recovered well from her recent heart procedure and is truly grateful that she was held in prayer throughout. She feels so blessed to have received such love and care from so many of the church family. Dorothy is improving with each new day and looks forward to being back up to full speed very soon.
Please also remember in your prayers: Rev Jane Everitt, Rev Martin Keighley, Elizabeth King, Chris Kelsall, Michaela Jones, Janice Porter, Mark Price, Lucy Adamson, Grantham Fidler, & Peter Hollier. And the families of Stan Kirkham, Ray Merrison, Norma Newton, Gordon Smith, Angela Smith & Ray Woollett whose funerals are due to take place.
