As we go into the New Year, I’d like to highlight two dates for your diaries:

Sunday 21 January to Sunday 4 February: ‘Love your Neighbour’ Fortnight

– an opportunity at this ‘low’ time of the year to think of ways to welcome into your home some of those who live nearby, offering some winter warmth and hospitality!

Weekend of Friday 10 – Sunday 12 May: our ‘Passion Pageant’ Weekend

– an opportunity to celebrate the world’s greatest story (from Palm Sunday to Ascension Day) across the four villages in our parish; more details to follow, but please keep that weekend free, if you can!

Finally, a big ‘thank you’ to all those who have already gone to the www.parishgiving.org.uk and renewed their giving to help us start the 2024 on a stronger footing—so much appreciated!

So let’s go forward into the coming year filled with the hope and joy that comes from Christ,

With love and prayers for a peaceful New Year

Revd Peter
