Sssh!!...........................It’s a secret PART TWO !! With only 12 days to go, this is a final reminder about this secret message originally emailed on 9th February If you wish to sign the card from St. Peter's Church, please contact Judy Lee on 07762 728149 It would be enormously helpful if all donations could be in by Thursday March 27th, so that each church has time to organise any additional gift. This message is being distributed by email to all (bar one!) of the people whose contact details are on the Sharnbrook Benefice Contacts Database, e.g. receiving our weekly pew sheet by email. As many of you will already know, our curate the Revd Dr Diana Stretton, will be leaving us shortly, to take up her new appointment, from 24 April 2025, as Team Vicar in the Langelei Team Ministry, with special responsibility for Holy Trinity, Leverstock Green. Revd Diana will lead her final service in our Benefice at St Peter's at the 10.30 Communion service on Sunday 30th March, Mothering Sunday. Instead of a sermon, Rev Paolo is arranging for the Faith Explorers to do a presentation. There will be 3 leaving cards, one from each parish. Revd Diana has expressed her wish that any collection monies are put towards the cost of purchasing an 'Outofthebox Story Basket', a superb collection of resources enabling the acting out of 49 different Wisdom stories for children aged 2 to 7. Each of our three churches will be contributing to the cost of this gift. If local donations exceed this contribution, each church may wish to give their own separate additional gift We now invite you to sign your local leaving card, which is already in circulation.
