Hello All,

I attach a Cross and Crown nice and early this week. Partly to help out Richard posting onto the Church facebook page, but also to remind you that on Saturday morning (tomorrow) there will be the usual working party up at St Mary's to clean the church and maintain the Churchyard. There will also be Morning prayer at St Mary's at 9 am, and a said Eucharist in traditional language at 9:30 am. The work of those volunteers who look after St Mary's is very much appreciated. The churchyard in particular is a big responsibility and we can always use more hands on mowers or strimmers!

On Sunday we are back in green! We have now finally left the white of Christmass, and for the next few weeks we are beginning a countdown towards Lent, and Easter beyond that! Most immediately, we need your palm crosses from last year to burn to make ash for this year! There is a basket at the back of the church for them: we need them by the 22nd. Also, a reminder that the Bible Book Club meets this coming Friday (the 10th - not tonight!)  when we will be discussing the Gospel of St John. There will also be a Friday Eucharist on the 10th: as a general rule there will only be an evening Eucharist on those Fridays when the Book Club meets so, for example, there will NOT be a Eucharist this evening.

On Sunday I am preaching (again!). Next week, on the 12th, it will be Charles Amis. Also - an early reminder that we will hold our Annual meetings on Sunday the 23rd of April this year, in the Hall, after the 10 am Eucharist. At the moment, this is just to get you to note the date, and also to remind all those who normally write a report for the booklet, that we need your reports in soon, please! The inaugural meeting of the film club will be on Saturday the 18th of February with a screening of Mary Poppins (the original version): please get your tickets from David Emerson.

That will do notice-wise, I think. I will see you all on Sunday!

God bless

Fr Bernard
