Dear Friends,Greetings to you all this Valentine’s Week – I hope we are all feeling the love and not too fed up with the sea of red and pink in all the shops and on our social media feeds. I love the way St Valentine’s is marked in Mexico as El dia del amor y la Amistad, which means “Day of Love and Friendship” and is celebrated with family and friends – nobody is left out!Michael has written an uplifting Thought (attached) about how a little light in a dark place goes a long way. Anyone following the progress of the General Synod might feel in need of some encouragement!Ever wondered who the weathered Knight is on the right hand side of the altar at Holy Trinity Church? Or indeed, the little windows behind the choir stalls? Or the church’s links with the English Civil War? And what on earth is a Ledger Stone? Hope you’ve all got Catrina’s tour of Holy Trinity next Saturday in your diaries – I’m sure the answers to all these questions and many more will be answered. Be there, or be square, as the saying goes…Rachel xWhat’s happening?Sunday 16th February, 3pm: Evensong, St.John's Acaster Selby 3pm: Joint Service - Blessing of the Plough, Holy Trinity Acaster Malbis with AM Methodist Chapel Wednesday 19th February, 9.30 - 11am Little Apples - Mothers and Toddlers stay and play group, Parish Room, Bolton Percy 10.30 - 12noon: Coffeepot Cafe, Methodist Chapel, Appleton RoebuckSaturday 22nd February, 10 - 12noon: Pop Up Cafe Market, All Saints' church, Appleton Roebuck 2pm: Tour of Holy Trinity Church with Catrina Appleby – everyone welcomeSunday 23rd February, 9am: Holy Communion Holy Trinity, Acaster Malbis 10.30am: Holy Communion - All Saints, Appleton Roebuck
