LEARN TO RING THE BELLS
Meet people, have fun & get fit!
Hope you have had an opportunity to enjoy some of this beautiful sunshine we have had this week – can’t beat that lovely scent of freshly mown grass everywhere! Please find enclosed our Keeping in Touch (KIT) Edition 101, for the Fourth Sunday in Lent: Mothering Sunday. The KIT includes readings for this day and thoughts from Annette on the interesting history/roots of Mothering Sunday which I am sure you will enjoy. We believe that the problems experienced with our recent livestreaming are sorted and we shall be ‘live’ again on Sunday 3 April 2022.

I have to sincerely apologise as we had various technical problems this morning, the main one being problems with our internet link and, as such, have been unable to record or live-stream our Morning Prayer service from St James’ church. Rest assured, we are working on solving the problems that have occurred this week. However, all is not lost, Annette will be putting some of the service on to our Facebook page. Please follow this link to our Facebook page.
Wow! I can’t believe we have reached Kit No 100, which is attached for the Third Sunday in Lent. This week’s readings focus on the Lenten theme of repentance and Annette gives her thoughts on the importance of the gift of Hope in our lives as Christians. Our Morning Prayer service at St James’ Church tomorrow morning will be live-streamed with the hymn words being shown to enable you to take part at home. Do join us by searching on YouTube for Little Paxton Church. However, if you do experience any problems, I will be sending out the link later tomorrow morning. Whilst writing, may I update you on the appeal for Ukraine. At the present time we are not being asked to send any further items, but will let you know if this changes. However, at St James’ Church on Friday 25 March, during the coffee morning (10.30 am – 12 midday), there will be a couple of tables of bric-a-brac/pre-loved items – Do come along if you can and we will hopefully make a few ££s for the DEC Emergency Appeal for Ukraine.

As promised, I am forwarding the link to enable you to enjoy today’s service with our special guest, the Venerable Hugh McCurdy, Archdeacon of Huntingdon and Wisbech.
Please find attached this week’s Keeping in Touch for The Second Sunday in Lent. We hope to livestream our Holy Communion service from St James’ church tomorrow when we are so pleased to welcome Archdeacon Hugh McCurdy. Hopefully there will be no hiccups in the livestreaming this week! Do join us at 9.15 am but, if you miss the livestream, I shall be sending out the usual link later in the morning. At the time of writing we have no further news regarding sending items to Ukraine – as soon as any updates are received I will let everyone know. Thank you to all those who have kindly responded to our call for help.
