Communion Services
If you are a communicant member of a Christian Church, you are welcome
to come up to 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 Communion Rail and would like the Vicar to come to you, then please
inform a sidesman.

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 will 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. Hope you can join us.

March 15th at The Bell, Burton Overy at the usual time of 7.30. If you

address is mojohnal@gmail.com.
HELP
NEEDED as many of you know we now have two toddler groups, Sparklers
on a Monday and Toddler Café on a Wednesday. As Kim and Carol Henson are away
on two Wednesday we could use one extra volunteer on 15th and 22nd
March. Just to be an extra person to talk and have coffee with the mums and
children. Linda Harwood is leading the story and the craft. Also if you would
like to help on the coffee rota on Wednesdays we could do with a few more
people. See Kim for details.
BIBLE READING NOTES It is nearly time
to order Bible Reading Notes for all those who are interested in reading and
understanding a little more of the bible. Have you thought of taking
these handy booklets which give you a daily passage of scipture, along with a
brief explanation and a short prayer or thought for the day? The cost is
approx £13 for the year. Copies of the booklets can be seen in church. If you have not had them before, now is the
time to give them a try - you will not be sorry! Just give your name to Christine Higgins -
259-2624 or chrisples@btinternet.com -who is
kindly co-ordinating the order from the Benefice.
BISHOP
MARTYN will be leading an evening discussing Prayer
on Thursday 16th March -7.30 at Kibworth Church.
COFFEE
MORNING on Saturday 18th March 10am - 12 noon at the Methodist Church
Hall. Cakes & preserves will be on sale.

ADVANCE NOTICE FOR ST CUTHBERT’S
APCM 2nd April, 12:30 pm there will be a
bring & share lunch to begin with followed by the AGM/PCC meeting and
finishing with an open discussion about the different things that are happening
in the church. It would be lovely for as many to come as possible and in our
discussion at the end if would be good to hear your thoughts and ideas about
how things are progressing. There will be a sign up sheet in the back of the
church.

on 07534401547 email charles.ford316@gmail.com
PLEASE NOTE THE BIBLE READING SHEETS these sheets
have been given to us free for a month to see if they are suitable. There is no
cost involved so I thought it would be good to see what people think so do let
Kim know if you think they are helpful or not.
ISRAEL TRIP please pray for the pilgrimage to Israel on the
13-22 March. There are 30 of us going from the surrounding villages. Please
pray for a safe journey, for good health and that God would meet us in a
special way as we journey in this special place.
