DESCRIPTION:Sponsored Bike Ride in aid of our sister parish of St Cyprian'
 s Sharpeville South Africa\, on Tuesday August 8\, 2023. all are welcome\,
  but please let us know as soon as possible\, to help with planning\; the 
 ride is led by Mary Ward  - maryjward@btinternet.com - chair of our Social
  and Global Responsibility and Justice Group\, and churchwarden Geoffrey H
 owe: a small group of LSM congregation will meet for Morning Prayer at LSM
 \, then set off to cycle 25 miles to Ely Cathedral\, the cross country (or
  rather cross-fen) route - National Cycle Route 11 & 51\, via Wicken Fen. 
 \n\nWe will meet for prayers with a cleric from the cathedral at Prior Cau
 den's Chapel\, and have been given permission by the Dean\, to have our pi
 cnic lunch in the famous Deanery Orchard\, with a splendid view of the Eas
 t end of the Cathedral. Then we cycle back the same route to the door of L
 SM. \n\nIt takes about two and half to three hours each way\, with a bit o
 f sightseeing\, and will be done on ordinary bicycles rather than 'racers'
 . Helmets to be worn. There are amazing views of different kinds\, with th
 e skies continually changing\, views of the fens including\, Wicken Fen\, 
 of the villages\, and the river\, especially dramatic views of the cathedr
 al as you get close. \n\nSt Cyprian's Sharpeville is a vibrant and growing
  congregation\, but the parish faces challenges with poverty and hardship\
 , but remains committed to outreach and support with food parcels and blan
 kets for those in indeed\, and supporting child-headed family units\, and 
 other vulnerable individuals.  \n\n see www.lsm.org.uk/groups/lsm-global f
 or more information\, and the opportunity to see one of the moving service
 s at this church.\n\nAll donations welcome
