Reflection from the Rectory – Life in the Holy Spirit

How is the Holy Spirit working in your Christian life? By the time, this edition has been published we will have marked the Ascension of our Lord Jesus. A time of uncertainty for the disciples even though Jesus has promised them that they will not be left on their own. We too wait for the Holy Spirit. Ahead of Pentecost Sunday I ask you to read Acts 2.1-21, the coming of the Holy Spirit and what follows afterwards. I hope that it will inspire you to come to church and, together, celebrate what is known as the birthday of the Church as we know it. A short offering this month as there is lots to read in this edition. Remember if we do not get your stories we cannot publish them. Blessings. Reverend Al.

On Saturday 3rd May St Andrew’s Church, Cranwell held their monthly coffee morning which included a charity table for Lincolnshire Greyhound Rescue. Cakes and savouries sold out in record time, and we again welcomed new attendees. The coffee morning next month is on Saturday 7th June when the Charity stall will be Cranwell Rainbows.

A forward date for diaries is Saturday 5 July 2025 when the Fashion Show will be returning for the third year running. It has proved extremely popular the last couple of times, raising very welcome funds for the running of the Church so please put on your calendar to come along and support St Andrew’s. Tickets are now on sale at a very reasonable £5; please contact any member of Cranwell PCC to purchase or reserve one.
At the APCM of St Andrew’s Cranwell on Tuesday 20th May a presentation was made to Jane Hansford who was standing down and retiring as Churchwarden after a number of years. She was thanked for all her hard work in the role.

Come and join us for Holy communion, worship, praise and fellowship. This is the service when we are joined together as one body, a time when all our sister churches (Anwick, Cranwell, Evedon, and Leasingham) all come together at our Mother Church to worship.

Come and join us for refreshments and enjoy some of the large selection of cakes and savouries, all home made. There are stalls to raise funds for St Andrew's Church as well as local Charities. Look forward to seeing you there.

Messy Church will be on Saturday the 7th of June at 2pm not the 2nd as I mistakenly typed. Timings:2pm start (arrival from 1.45pm). We will still be exploring the story of men and women in the Bible. Blessings. AReverend Al.

The last Sunday@3 was all about Peace. Where we sat together and created some Peace prayer wheels and a lovely globe with prayers and images of peace. It was a lovely time together, why not come along for our next one
