Lent Workshop Groups

We are making preliminary arrangements for this year's Lent groups. Fr. Keith has asked that we use the Diocesan materials as we did last year. Volunteers needed: Please can you let Gill or Ian know as soon as possible if you would be willing to host and or lead a group. If you are willing to host a group this does not mean you also have to lead, unless of course you would like to.

Setting God’s People Free
We are pleased to announce that the PCC has appointed Keith Lelliott and Lucinda Cox as our Lay Champions for this initiative. They will attend training for this early this year and we look forward to hearing more from them in due course.

Tickets are available for our Burns Night Dinner on Saturday 26th January from members of the Social Activities team or phone Raye on 01903 200143. Doors open 6:45 for 7.00pm start. Tickets £12.50, to include a three course meal, and entertainment and dancing from Musical Express.
Please don't delay in buying your tickets. We need to know numbers by 15th January.
