Pastoral Care Team Meeting

The Pastoral Care Team will meet on Thursday at 2 pm on zoom.

Christian Aid Lenten Lunches

The Curate and The Minister of St Nicholas Church are hoping to re-stage the very successful Christian Aid Lenten Lunches, which lapsed and never got reinstated at the time of COVID.  The plan is for three of the lunches to be held in our hall, the other three to be held in St Nicholas’s Church Hall.  To make the plan work we need volunteers.  If you’d like to help make this happen, please add your name to the sign up sheet at the back of the church or speak in person to Jackie. There will be a meeting of all volunteers on Monday 17 February at 10 am in St Nicholas Church Hall, Castlegate, to organise and plan.

Apres Service Refreshments

We are looking for new recruits to make teas and coffees after the Sung Eucharist on Sundays. If you would like to get involved, please speak to Morag Hobbs, who will be happy to add your name to the rota. 

Prayer Tree

We now have a prayer tree in the church hall.  If you would like someone or something to be prayed for, please write your petition on the hearts provided and place it on the tree.  Your prayer will be prayed for in church.

Situation Vacant

We still have one vacancy to fill – that of Hall Caretaker.  If you would be interested in finding out more about the position, please, please, please speak to the Rector at your earliest convenience!!! (Note the hint of desperation there!) 

Prayer

When she is with us on Sundays The Revd Liz Clelland will offer pastoral prayer in the Memorial Chapel after the Sung Eucharist to individuals who would like it.
