Bible in One Year in 2022  

On 1 January Andrew invited us to join in reading through the Bible in One Year. This is a plan devised by Holy Trinity, Brompton.

Full details and link to the smart phone app is available on the  Bible in One Year  website.

There is a Classic version, which takes around 20 minutes a day and an express version which takes about 10 minutes a day.

We are also producing a printable/downloadable list of the readings in our weekly bulletins sent to Church members. Andrew will post periodic reflections on our YouTube and Podcast channels and will organise Zoom sessions when we can discuss what we have been reading and any questions it might be raising for us. 

  Ukraine Appeal 

A message from the BMS: Ukraine - Our hearts break over the situation in Ukraine that has unfolded since the end of February. We trust that the Lord has this tragedy in his hands, and pray that however impossible it might seem, his peace will be known across the nations of Ukraine and Russia

We have sent donations to the BMS World Mission Disaster Recovery fund and we are continuing to collect for this.There are envelopes in the foyer to place your donation in and confirm Gift Aid if you are able.  

We have also sent a donation to the church in Romania where the brother of one of our members is the Pastor. They are meeting Ukrainian refugees at the border and taking them to safety.

Alternatively you can send money direct to the church making it labelled for the Ukraine appeal. 

St Luke’s Walk  

Chris Hughes walked 60 miles on the St Oswald’s Way in Northumberland for four days at the end of May in aid of St Luke’s Hospice and would be very grateful for your sponsorship. There is a sponsor form on the church notice board or you can donate using JustGiving. So far Chris has raised £3,500 . Well done  Chris for the walk and also all the delicious pots of homemade cakes, marmalade and jam that Chris sells to us all . Delicious !

St Luke's, our local hospice, has been hit particularly hard with the lack of fundraising and having to close their charity shops during lockdown and the Covid restrictions. So all donations will be very gratefully received. 

War memorials

Recently we had a visit from a team from the Imperial War Museum who wanted information about our war memorials. A link to their page can be found here
