This month Connected has a rather sombre feeling. The recent deaths of three prominent members of our community, over the Christmas and New Year period, is a reminder that we should embrace each day, and every opportunity, to live our lives to the full. Rest in Peace Barbara, Jean and Margaret.

Revd. Roy Shaw gives us guidance for Lent which is almost upon us, and Churchwarden Pat Jarvis outlines the steps to be taken during the interregnum. Please participate in shaping the future look of the Parish by responding to consultations and questionnaires as they are published by the PCC
