Dear all
I hope you had a good Easter and now for the Spring!
As we celebrate the centenary of Abridge Village Church and the even longer history of our other two churches there is a feeling that they are part of the landscape and will always be there. But that very much depends on us keeping the churches alive.
​
At Lambourne and Stapleford Abbotts we have been challenged to develop a 10 year plan to ensure our survival and growth.
​
To do this we have an ideas afternoon at Lambourne Centre from 2-4.00pm on Sunday 21st April to build up our hopes and dreams. Please consider joining us on that occasion as we need as much input as possible. Your thoughts and ideas are important.
In this issue there are posters for the Stapleford Abbotts Quiz night and Plant Sale.
Following last year’s fantastic success we include a poster for this year’s Community Challenge on Sunday May 21st. This is all set to go ahead if we get the funding. Book the date and start to get your teams together.
The Annual Stapleford Abbotts Rogationtide Walk takes place from 3.00pm on Sunday May 3rd. It is a circular walk around the fields starting at Stapleford Abbotts Church and finishing there with tea.
Christian Aid Week this year is May 12-18th. Once again we would like to deliver an envelope to each house. We need enough volunteers to make this happen. Please let me know on 01992-523849 if you can help. Thank you. With the news of pain and suffering around the world and on our doorstep Christian Aid is an effective and efficient way to offer some help.
Blessings
