Social Evening at St. Philips Church on Saturday 24th March at 7:30pm.

Lord God we thank you that you do not need us to be part of a perfect church or for us to be perfect Christians. But we know that you have called us broken and imperfect people to care for a fractured world and to journey with its hurting people. Show us how to use our gifts in your service and our brokenness to your glory. Guide us as we continue to discern your will for this community now and in the future. That what we do may be in your strength as sometimes that is all we have left.
Minister: Revd. Sue Smith

Many thanks to those people who knitted angels last year. Jean and Kit spread them around the village before Christmas on railings, trees, seats etc as well as giving some to people at the bus stop and others in a cafe. We would like to do this again next Christmas with an even bigger host of angels so can we ask you to keep knitting them and put them in the bag by the vestry door. If you have not done it before then patterns are available from Jean or you can find them on the internet.
