Tuesday 2 February
The Presentation of Christ in the Temple
'Open me the gates of righteousness:
and I will enter and give thanks to the Lord'

12 noon Holy Communion (1662)

Sunday 14 February
St Valentine's Day

On Sunday 14 February at our 10.00am service we shall be welcoming a speaker from Christian Aid, who will bring us up-to-date with the work which will be going on in this parish during Christian Aid Week, and also how Christian Aid is helping people in our world and showing the love of Christ in action.
Following the service, there will be a lunch (including a presentation) in the Church rooms which has been jointly organised by the Anglicans and the Methodists.
St. Valentine's Day is always linked with love and marriage, so we hope for a full church.

LENT
Lent begins on Wednesday 17 February - Ash Wednesday. Please return your palm crosses by Sunday 14 February, so that they can be burnt for the Imposition of Ashes. It always amuses the Rector that people continue to deliver the crosses well past Ash Wednesday!
Lent is a time of spiritual discipline, so do try and make that extra special effort to come to the services, take part in our Lent Groups, and be willing to do a bit of reading of the Bible or some other spiritual book. We are always the better for this, and Holy Week and Easter become more significant.


Wednesday 17 February
ASH WEDNESDAY
'The sacrifice of God is a broken spirit:
a broken and contrite heart he will not despise'

12 noon Holy Communion (1662) with Imposition of Ashes
8.00 pm Choral Communion (CW) with Imposition of Ashes
