Dear All,

Art Cafe: Wednesday 30th March @ 10:30am on Zoom

I hope you’re keeping well and looking forward to Wednesday’s Art Café Online: Coins and the Growth of Christianity which will be presented to us by Dr Roger Bland. Richard is a former Curator in the Coin Department at the British Museum and Licensed Lay Minister. He will introduce us to some Roman coins from Jesus’ earthly lifetime, and show how the growth of Christianity would be reflected in Imperial coinage.

This has been a very challenging month for everyone and in the blink of an eye it’s Spring! Hence we are marking it with a Spring Fair tomorrow at the Patisserie just in time to get a special gift for Mother’s Day.

Dear All, I hope you are keeping well.

First, a big thank you to everyone who supported last Saturday’s Lent Lunch in the Barn. You’re welcome to drop in between 12 Noon and 3pm today (Saturday 19th) for homemade soup and scones, bread and cheese and good company!  We’re supporting this year’s Diocesan Lent Appeal for Sag Sag Health Health Centre in Papua New Guinea. 

This Sunday’s services (20th) are 9.30am Family Worship at Claxton and 11am Communion at Kirby Bedon. You’re welcome to drop in at Cafe Church in Rockland Parish Room between 10.30am and 12 Noon for refreshments, activities, and worship on the them of ‘Blessed be the Peacemaker’. We continue to pray for an end to the conflict in Ukraine and for the safety and future of its people.

The Barn will host Contemplative Prayer this week on Monday at 7.30pm – a time of stillness, quiet space and reflection. Please use this link if you’d like to join us online:
