The new police initiative,
for a safer local environment has now been placed in the
foyer of the church for you to read. Please do take a
copy of the newsletter. If the police are taking
seriously the concerns for our safety and welfare, then
we should reciprocate. There will be a box, [here in
church] for anyone who wishes to give information, or
help with issues that affect us. Allowing us to indicate
anonymously to the authorities and get problems dealt
with. Please use this facility remember; ‘Use it or
Loose it’ I know many of us have concerns about this
area, so here is a way of being involved in making it a
better place for all of us to live, thank you.
LENT begins on Ash Wednesday February 17th the service
begins at 7p.m. Lent is an obligation! It would be good
to think that we could all make a special effort this
year to attend this important service. Do we recognise
that to celebrate the great Easter festival, like Christ
Himself, we too have to be prepared to make sacrifices?
That is what Lent is about. Forty days in which to get
ourselves back on track. The Lent Course being held here
at St. Peter’s on Wednesdays at 2.30p.m. February 24th,
March 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th. Is the perfect way to
prepare and come together to focus on the relevance of
the cross for us today. Please support this important
event; leaflets are available in the foyer [yellow
flyers]. Or contact [Philip Craft on 01425 623588 to
book your place.]
May we all be enlightened this Lent as we move towards
the Cross.
Yours in Christ Jesus,
Fr. Harry.
