Lenten Lunches Update
Due to a lack of uptake, the decision was taken NOT to do weekly Lenten Lunches this year. Instead we will be having one super Soup Sunday on Sunday 22 March at 12 noon in St Nicholas Church Hall. Cost: £3. All proceeds will go to Christian Aid. We need 2 volunteers to help set up on the Saturday, 2 volunteers to serve on the day and I volunteer to make a very large pot of soup. Please speak to The Revd Jackie if you can help.
Away Giving Campaign Suggestions for 2026
In the New Year we will be supporting the following Away Giving Campaigns: Bishop’s Lent Appeal, Water Aid, Social Bite and The Salvation Army Christmas Appeal.
Taxi Service
We have a parishioner, who lives in Beechgrove Nursing Home, who would very much like to attend church on a Sunday morning. She has no personal means of transport. If you would like to offer to pick her up and take her home on a rota basis, please add your name to the sheet on the table at the back of the church. Any help to get her to church will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
