Growing Rural Parishes Project
As a Benefice, jointly with the Benefice of Bentley, Binsted and Froyle, we have been secured a grant through the Growing Rural Parishes Project to help fund training for anyone in any kind of ministry in our churches; to help our outreach and profile and to help with administration. If anyone is interested in being part of a working group alongside Lesley and me, please get in touch. We have money for training to lead worship etc. Please let Carrie know if you would like to know more.
Electoral rolls and APCMs
This year is a year when electoral rolls are revised. This means everyone will receive a form inviting them to reapply to be on the church’s electoral roll. We also have vacancies on our PCCs, especially for church wardens and treasurers for one or two of our churches and it would be great if they could be filled at our APCMs in April. In the meantime, please continue to pray for our PCCs. Farringdon PCC 3rd March 6pm.
Website
Check out https: //www.northanger.uk/ to see our website. It needs more content, so if you have a church event you want to advertise or photos of a special happening please let Carrie or Jon Fuller know if you have something to contribute. We would love some Christmas pictures and pictures with people (with their permission!)
Birthdays and other celebrations
If you are aware of any special birthdays or any special celebrations coming up please let me know so we can put them on the newsletter.
Prayer needs
Our schools. All who are sick, bereaved or going through a difficult time. Ukraine, Israel and Gaza and other parts of the world where there is conflict and suffering. Our Government at this time of deepening financial crisis and for those most affected, the poor and the vulnerable. All who are lonely.
