A Rather Short Report This Week!

This week’s column will have to be a little shorter than normal this week as your scribe has been suffering from a sudden spell of illness which has upset the normal routine, so hopefully all will be back to normal for next week.

The Rev Alex Wheatley conducted the service of Holy Communion last Sunday and will also officiate at the Holy Communion service on Sunday 23rd January. A full list of services in the Benefice will be shown at the end of this column.

For Burn’s Night this year, St Mary’s social committee are planning our version of a traditional Scottish Evening on January 22nd, with a menu based on Scottish fare, and if we can find a Piper, the Haggis will be piped in following the old tradition. Any Bagpipers out there, please call Rosemary on 01767 261206 to volunteer? Tickets can be booked on the same number and cost £20 each which includes all the cooked food. Those who know about our socials will be aware how good the menu will be, those who haven’t yet been, well it’s time to book! There will be a bar available. Covid regulations may restrict the numbers who can attend, so book early.

Forthcoming dates for February: Our popular Friends and Family Morning Service returns on February 6th, a service for all ages and with craft projects for the children. Also on February 6th, NightLight, our service for quiet contemplation, readings, music and prayer will return, in the evening. More news on both services nearer the time.

The next issue of the Sunday Link, our weekly newsletter, is out for this weekend, of January 23rd and likewise the Rotas for February and March have also been published..
