If you

receive the bread and wine. Otherwise
you are welcome to either remain in your seat or come up to receive a blessing. Keeping your hands down by your side will
signify to the Vicar that you wish to receive a blessing. If you have difficulty coming up to the

NOTICES
LENT COURSE WITH A TWIST We are doing something
different for Lent this year. We will be
using the movie 'Chocolat' as the base of our discussions and the course
will begin on the 1st March at 12:30 pm. We will meet at the Methodist
Church and have a Bring and Share lunch followed by the movie. Even if you decide not to do the
whole course it will be a good opportunity for a social gathering. The course will then continue for the next five
Wednesdays (March 8, 15, 22, 29 and April 5) at 2:00 pm at the Methodist
Church. We will have a short clip from
the film and a discussion. We are trying to do it during the daytime so that
people do not have to come out in the evening. We hope you can join us! If you would like to join us please sign up at
the back of the church.
SUNDAY PRAYER MEETING Thank you to all who came and were a part
of our prayer meeting on Sunday evening. The evening was really well received and we
had around 50 people from all the different churches coming for fellowship and
to pray for the village and the wider world. When we asked if people would like to do it
again there was a definite YES! So we
will plan another evening and let you know once the date is set. Let us keep praying for the needs of the
village and for what God wants to do it this place.
BISHOP MARTYN will be visiting our Deanery to meet the clergy and get a feel
for what is going on in our villages. We
are the last Deanery to host the Bishop and it will be good to welcome him. This is just a general visit and, as Bishop
Martyn is new, will enable him to get to know the clergy and their churches and
have a better overview of the parishes he is seeking to serve. Please pray that his time with us will be
blessed and that he will get a good picture of what God is doing in our Deanery.
THE QUEEN, accompanied by Prince Phillip, will be visiting
Leicester again for the Maundy Thursday service in the Cathedral. It will be a real privilege to have her
Majesty with us again as she hands out Maundy Money to those who have served
the Lord and others faithfully throughout Leicestershire.
QUIET PRAYER
AND MEDITATION 3.30 pm on Wednesday, 22nd February
at 20 Kingfisher Close, Great Glen. New
members are encouraged and will be made very welcome. More information from
Christine Higgins, Tel. 2592624.

TEDDIES FOR TANZANIA Kim would like to
take some teddies with her on her trip to Tanzania next year. See an example on the table at the back of the
Church. The pattern is very simple
if anyone would like to help, and Amy can even supply some wool if needed.
SNOWDROP SERVICE to celebrate the
coming of Spring will be held at St Luke’s Church, Newton Harcourt on Sunday 12th
February 3.0 – 3.30pm followed by refreshments.
