Children’s Society

The celebration of our Christingle Service is an opportunity to support the work of the Children’s Society. For those who took a special collection box last week, please remember to bring it to Church next Sunday. Alternatively, there will be a plate atthe back of Church to receive any donations youwould like to make.

Coffee Morning

In March, we will be beginning our weekly Coffee Mornings on a Thursday. I am hoping to put together a rota of volunteers who would be willing to serve coffee and to offer a welcome to those who have been invited to join us. I imagine it will need two people per week and the more people available will help to spread the load. If you would be willing to take part in this important activity, please add your name to the list at the back of Church.

Candlemass

Next Sunday, we will keep the Feast of the Presentation of our Lord in the Temple, our service will begin with the blessing of candles at the procession inside the Church. Christingles will also be available and we have invited the local community to join us.
