Dear All, 
Although this is not the first Saturday of the month, the working party will meet up at St Mary's at 10 am today, weather permitting, to mow and tidy the churchyard. As ever, they would welcome new volunteers: all equipment is provided, as well as a cup of tea! Alternatively, if you want something indoors, help is needed to prepare the bouquets blessed and given out on Mothering Sunday tomorrow. If you can help with this, please come to St Barnabas at 11 am today.

The working party was moved because of last week’s Jumble Sale, at which we raised the record total of over £866. Thank you so much for all your hard work, which was so well rewarded!

​ Now it’s time to think about the Easter cards to be delivered to the parish – thank you to Richard for remembering and producing them: they will be available for collection on Sunday the 22nd, and will need to be delivered that week, because Palm Sunday is getting close! 

The Lent discussion group meets this week on Tuesday at 8 pm in the Saunders Room and on Thursday after the 10 am Eucharist in the Lady Chapel. Also on Thursday, the PCC meets at 7:30 pm in the Lady Chapel, and on Saturday the 21st, St Barnabas hosts a Leighton Buzzard Music event with the acclaimed trumpet and organ duo Crispian Steele-Perkins and Hilary Davan Wetton at 7:30 pm.

Tomorrow is of course Mothering Sunday. The 10 am Eucharist will be an All-Age service, and there will be a said Eucharist at 8 am and Evensong at 6 pm. An order of service for the 10 am Eucharist is on this website together with the Cross and Crown. 

Finally, please note in the Cross and Crown the details of the Holy Week services. There are three things in particular to note: the clocks go forward on Palm Sunday; the Easter Day 8 am Eucharist will instead begin at 8:30 am, to give me a bit more time to arrive and set up after the 5 am service at St Mary’s; and there will be NO Evensong at St Barnabas on Easter Day: we are instead joining with All Saints for a joint service. 
Please also note that the Open University Choir have a concert in St Barnabas at 3:30 pm on Palm Sunday. 
God bless, 

Fr Bernard
