Please see pew sheet for the month attached - the following news update was issued by email on Friday 27th February
Firstly we have some more sad news - Trevor Messenger died last weekend in hospital having been admitted a few days before from his nursing home in Campsea Ashe. Trevor had been a key figure in Claydon and Barham for all his adult life. I have known Trevor since we were children and worked very closely with him over the years organising fetes, pram races, exhibitions and much more over the years raising much needed funds for the Church. Trevor was Jonathan’s cousin. Sadly dementia took hold over the past few years resulting in him eventually needing to have specialist care. Please remember his widow Angela and children, Julie and Jason, and their families as well as Jonathan in your prayers at this sad time.
Planning the months ahead? - Please note that Henley Church is now taking bookings for its Puzzle Evening; Rev Tracey is taking bookings for the Celtic Lenten Retreat Day on Saturday 21st March; GB are taking bookings for St Georges Day on 18th April; and you can now book your tickets for the Barham Hall Picnic Concert on 4th July on-line through TicketSource.
Don't forget that as part of our lent observance there is the opportunity to join in Compline on Zoom on Thursday evenings - Just request the link details from Wendy. Also a reminder that Earl Stonham hold their World Day of Prayer service this coming Friday 6th and would love to have anyone from this Benefice join themPlease note that the Funeral of Cynthia Long takes place in Barham Church this coming Friday (6th) at 11am. Please remember Cynthia and her family and friends in your prayers. This will not affect the weekly Friday drop-in in the hall except drop-in visitors are asked not to park in front of Church tower on this occasion but to use the overflow carpark.
The Big Plastic Count – 9-15 March
For one week in March, thousands of people across the country will be counting every piece of plastic packaging they throw away. We can join in to help uncover the scale of the UK’s big plastic problem and call on the government to do more about it.
Would you like to join in? As part of our eco church commitment, we'd like to encourage you. It’s really easy – there’s a count sheet to fill in each time you throw some plastic away. Then you simply submit your totals online at the end of the week.
