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.
