Dear all
​​
It seems uncanny that, as we freeze , the world records its warmest January temperature of modern times. It is a reminder, as are all the events around the world, that no one or one country can pretend to be an island cut off from the rest of the planet.
But we cannot give up and so we plough on.
There are flyers elsewhere commending some of the events coming up.
As we have our Wednesday Lent course there will be no Zoom Prism magazine in March, but our Zoom service will be at 7.30pm on Friday 28th March. Please ask for the connection so that you can join our worldwide service.
The start of Lent is heralded by our combined Ash Wednesday service at Stapleford Abbotts at 7.00pm on 5th March. All are welcome to this special service.
We will celebrate Mothering Sunday on March with services at 9.45am at Stapleford Abbotts and 11.15am at Lambourne.
Each church welcomes others to join their working parties which are an essential way of maintaining the churches so that they provide a caring welcome. Each is on Saturdays from 10-12noon with Stapleford on March 1st and 15th and Lambourne’s on 22nd.
As we prepare for the flower festivals there is a Lambourne planning meeting at 7.30pm on Friday 14th in Abridge Village Hall.
It would be great to welcome new people to the team not just for the flowers but also all the activity around it.
Some good news. The organ at Stapleford Abbotts has been repaired after a drowned jackdaw blocked the down pipe letting water through the roof and onto the organ.
Some challenging news. Stapleford Abbotts is determined to go ahead with the toilet project in spite of the increased costs. Any help with fund raising would be greatly appreciated.
Some continuing news With the closure of the Vicarage by the Diocese we are still looking for storage. If you know anywhere that has about half a garage space going free please let me know.
Some ongoing news With the Stapleford Abbotts Plant Sale on May 11th we are trying to engage the community into growing some plants for the sale Please ask if you would like to be involved.
