ST MARY’S: This Sunday’s Services: Family Service at 10am will involve pancakes, hopefully edible, as we prepare for Lent. With families or not, everyone is welcome to join this simple service which typically lasts 30 mins. Bring a favourite topping and find out what Shrove Tuesday is all about. At 6.30pm we celebrate Celtic Eucharist, a new style of service for St Mary’s focusing on the wonder of God’s creation. Do come along to be inspired. Our 8am Holy Communion will be led by Revd Jane Sherwin this week, another opportunity to come near to God in a peaceful, thoughtful service. On Monday at 10.30am, the Bible for us today group meets in the church room. On Wednesday at 6.30pm a Eucharist for Ash Wednesday marks the start of Lent. This includes marking the sign of the cross on the forehead in ash and is a moving and significant service in the church year. Would you like to host a simple lunch of soup and bread and cheese during Lent? Talk to Shirley if you can spare a Friday lunchtime to arrange. Donations go to St Mary’s Disaster Fund which enables the church to respond quickly to worldwide emergencies such as earthquakes and floods.
