Millions of people have tried Alpha and found it a life-changing experience. A group of 18 people, both young and older have just completed our first programme. They are so enthusiastic about that we are starting another Alpha course on Monday 26th January 2026 for anyone who is curious about life, who wants to ask questions. Are you curious? Why not give it go? You can come to the taster session without any commitment to come again. Refreshments will be provided. Various people have already said they are going to come for a variety of reasons - either they want to get baptised or confirmed, or have recently had a baby which has set them off thinking about the wondrous nature of life. Whatever your reason, come for the first session and if you enjoy it, come back for more. Contact someone you know in one the of Six Fen Churches or email Canon Mark on mark@sixfenchurches.org for more info.
Thanks to everyone from across the benefice who joined St Nicolas Manea for a service for our pets. It was great to sing some old favourites like All Things Bright and Beautiful. Pets included a hamster (called Sirius Black), two rats, a cuddly cat and plenty of dogs. All the animals were well behaved...Many thanks to Oakley, who is a Pets As Therapy dog, who brought his owner, Ajay, who told how Pets As Therapy connect with people in Askham House, Doddington.
