Prayer for 2nd Sunday before Lent
Lord, when the weight of our daily struggles feels heavy upon our shoulders, help us to recognize the truth of what Christ teaches. You tell us Take no thought for your life, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on. Instil in our hearts the understanding that life is so much more than the physical provisions we seek. It is a precious gift meant for deeper communion with You, our Creator.
Amen
Prayer for the sick
We pray for those who are sick and who ask for our prayers: Patrick, Mike, Joan C, Emma, Len, Neil, Joan L, John and Elizabeth L'E. We also remember silently in our hearts: Heather, Jackie, Ann, Dave, Brenda, Monica, Hester, Kerry, Izabel and Paul.
Rest in peace
We remember those who have died recently and pray for their families at this sad time.
In Memoriam
We pray for all those who remember the anniversary of those who are recorded in our memorial book for this week Bertram James ‘Bert’ Snow, Barry Wyatt, John Alban Rowland, Keith Gerald Ball, Dorothy Gertrude Priest, Alison M Batten, John Reginald Dear, Geoffrey Percy Hindhaugh
Food, Friends & Fellowship
The lunch group meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 12 noon in Havenstreet Community Centre. The lunch usually consists of homemade soup & bread, “ploughman’s type” lunch, dessert, cake, coffee or tea. No fixed amount is charged, just a donation is welcomed. The lunch group is open to anyone who enjoys a chat in a relaxed atmosphere. Transport can be arranged, so why not give us a try.

Lent course
We shall be using the Church of England’s recommended booklet ‘Draw Near’ available from Eden Books @ £2.69 for a single copy. At Holy Cross, the discussion group will start on Wednesday 25th February at 7.30 pm, when we will have the first week of daily readings to discuss. At St John’s the start will be on Thursday 26th February at 11 am. Please sign up on the lists at the back of the two churches.
From Revd. David:
Please bring any unwanted palm crosses to church between now and Sunday 15 February. They will be collected and burned to make the ash for Ash Wednesday.
The services on Ash Wednesday will be 2pm @ All Saints and 7pm @ Holy Cross.
