THIS week about 50 people celebrated Shrove Tuesday by having a pancake dinner in the Function Centre.
This meal is an acknowledgment of the traditional clearing out of all the rich foods in the pantry in preparation for Lent, the disciplined season before Easter. Thank you to Keith and all the helpers who enabled this event to occur.
On Wednesday many people attended either of the Ash Wednesday services, where participants are signed with ashes in the sign of the cross, an outward symbol of their faith in Christ.
Part of Lent is to learn more, to reflect on our faith, and to this end there is a bible discussion on Wednesdays at 10am and another on Sundays at 5pm. Add your name to the list if you would like to join in.
Thank you to all those who faithfully pray for the wellbeing of others. This is a personal commitment that is felt and very valued by the recipients, Rev Denis and Helen being two of them who have been recently blessed in this way.
