Dear Friends

Can you believe that we are already entering February and fast on that is the beginning of Lent?

I attach the Welcome sheet with all the information you will need to keep up-to-date with the life of the churches in our Benefice.

I am pulling together a team of people who could help to deliver a really great couple of hours for families in February half-term as it happens to be Shrove Tuesday. If you are available and interested, please let me know so that we can have a brilliant team for the action packed 2 hours, fuelled by pancakes and sugar…sugar….sugar (no doubt).

This Sunday we have our early morning BCP (spoken word) Communion service at 8.00 am at St James, High Wych.

At 9.30 am we gather to eat a tasty breakfast together before we start our Family Service at 10.00 am, also at St James, High Wych. Everyone is welcome to this service including the families who also attend our family service at St Botolph’s. The content is different so that your children have different things to do and a different story to engage with.

I hope I get to see you again at one of these services or at our party.

Every blessing

Alison
