The Bishops have again put together some interesting material for us to use in Lent. You can find it on line at: livinggodslove.org, and clicking on The Lent Challenge 2012. For busy working people they offer the option of a daily Bible text to your mobile, but I am going again for the weekly discussion group, on the theme of Transforming Life. We will meet in church directly after the 10.00am service, and be about an hour. I have printed out the first week for you to look at and get an idea of what it's like. Please don't take it away with you! Once I know who is coming I will print out enough copies for everyone without a computer. Sally
Adrian Price, our Mission Accompanier, will be leading a Parish Day here at St. Matthew's to help us draw up our mission action plan.

Margot Preusse, a faithful member of St. Matthew's over many years, sadly died on 11th February. Her funeral will take place here at St. Matthew's at 10.30am on Monday 27th February. Please pray for Margot that the Lord will grant her rest and for her widower Paul and his family at this time of sadness.
For the future Paul wonders if anyone could kindly give him a lift to church, please?
Our new external lights have now been installed. Many thanks to Bob Best for organising this.
When you come to church on Ash Wednesday you should be able to find the way in the dark!
