 nd join us for an hour at The\nCrown in Peopleton on a Tuesday evening dur

 re\n\ninformation.\n\nPlease make a note of the Service at White Ladies\nA
 ston on 12 March. It will be a family Mothers’ Day\nservice (Mothering S
 unday is 19 March).\nEveryone is very welcome to this special service.\n\n
 More details next week.\n\nClaire writes……\n\nIt is with great sadness
  that we learned of the death of\n\nMaggie Pearse last week.\n\nA friend t
 o so many of us\, the voice of reason and\nlaughter\, Maggie was a woman w
 ho gave a lot of\ntime\, energy and love to Broughton Hackett village\n\na
 nd St Leonard’s Church.\nShe will be sorely missed. \nDetails of her fu
 neral will follow when known. \nMay she rest in peace and rise in glory.\
 n\nA prayer\n\nO Lord God\, we thank you for the years you have\ngiven us\
 , for joys and sorrows shared.\nWe thank you for memories\, which in the w
 eeks and\nmonths ahead will continue to be a comfort.\nLord\, you are the 
 giver of all life\,\nwe accept you have taken back that which is yours\n\n
 to love and care for.\n\nLord Jesus\, please heal the wound of parting\nwi
 th your gentle touch. Amen.\nMore thoughts for Lent\n\nThird of ten though
 ts during Lent about ‘praying’\nFood banks provide lifelines to hundre
 ds of families.\nWhen you next go to your favourite supermarket\,\nthink o
 f those with too little to eat.\nWith a prayer in your heart\, why not pur
 chase and\ndonate some urgently needed items to our local food\n\nbank?\nS
 end out your love today.\n\nFourth of ten thoughts during Lent about ‘pr
 aying’\nIt’s good to know that someone is thinking about you\nand wish
 ing you well. Why not return the favour? Just\nslow your busy life for a m
 oment\, relax and think of\nthat person\, wishing them well and all life
 ’s blessings\n\non them.\n\nTime are hard and our local food banks are s
 truggling\nto keep up with the needs of so many.\nWith Covid in 2020-21 th
 ere were 3.9 million\nchildren living in poverty in the UK. That&#39\;s
  27 per cent\nof children\, or eight in a classroom of 30.\nPost covid 
 and with the current economic climate\,\nthings have probably got even wor
 se….\nStaggering and shameful figures.\nLet us do what we can to help th
 e Worcester Food\nBank (collection point: The Pantry\, Peopleton) and the\
 nPershore Food Bank (collection point: St Nicholas\n\nChurch\, Peopleton).
