LEARN TO RING THE BELLS
Meet people, have fun & get fit!
I am very pleased to attach this week’s KIT which celebrates Easter and includes greetings and thoughts from Annette and reflections on the Message of Easter from Mel. From St James’ Church, we hope to be livestreaming our Easter Day service which is an All Age Worship with Communion and a Baptism. We go ‘live’ from 9.30 am and, just in case of any problems, I will also forward a link to the service straight afterwards. Do join us if you can.
Please note that as the St James’ ‘Communication’ team are having a break next Sunday (24 April) no KIT, email or video will be sent out. However, rest assured, we shall be back with you for Sunday 1 May – Wow! This year is flying by so very fast!

I am very pleased to be able to send you Annette’s first benefice YouTube service of the month which is for the Fifth Sunday in Lent, Passion Sunday. Please follow this below to join our service of worship. This month Annette thinks about ‘patience’ and during the service interviews Diane James from Great Paxton. Diane and team have been planning the Millenium Fest 1000 year celebrations and they have had to be very patient as the Festival has been put off so many times due to covid. Diane also talks about the new pew cushions which have taken many months to make and are being made by various crafters in the village and beyond. Jean Matheson kindly reads some verses from St Paul’s letter to the Galatians which remind us of the fruits of the spirit. Big thank you to Diane and Jean for taking part in our service.
In this week’s KIT (attached), Mel gives us her thoughts on the Gospel Reading John 12 v 1-8 – thank you Mel. Also in the KIT is a big thank you to everyone who kindly donated items or money for the DEC Ukrainian Appeal held at Little Paxton Church on 25 March - an amazing sum of £360 was raised. In addition, the Riverside Meadows School in St Neots donated a further £72 which they wished to be added to our total funds raised for the appeal.
