Vicarage Notes

Lent has begun and the usual series of Lent Services around the churches of the Deanery on Tuesday evenings will be taking place. A flyer will be available at church and there is a warm welcome to one or all of these occasions. I am pleased that our Lent Boxes will be for the “Water Well” project in Kaduna, Nigeria, and our thanks to George for including labels with the Oxhill News for anyone who wishes to use them. Jamjars and tubs should be sent into church at Easter. The 4th Sunday in Lent is always Mothering Sunday and there is a very warm welcome to everyone who would like to come.

Funerals

Remembering with thanksgiving

February 11th Evelyn Gage, aged 90

Thought for the month

I’ve seen some beautiful snowdrop displays in gardens and churchyards – such a pleasure after the exceptionally cold weather. They are thriving as the days become longer and provide more light. Jesus described himself as the light of the world, and in these days of economic uncertainties and global political turmoil we need a few more of the certainties of his teaching. “Lead kindly light” is one of the old hymns our forefathers surely enjoyed – good for today as well!

God bless,
