LENT 2015
Lent begins on Wednesday 18th.
Lent Course, called ‘The Prayer Course’.
This is from from the same church as Alpha and
will be happening at various places around the
Benefice and we will be working together with
Farcet Salvation Army. We are still waiting for
confirmation of times. There will also be one
group meeting in Church Street led by Tracey
Rutterford and Margaret Harvey. Please see
either of them for times. We also are still looking
for one or two other people to host and lead in
Stanground. Anne will be asking for volunteers
today!!! Watch out - and listen out during the
notices!
Prayer and Giving Plates for Christian Aid, like
we did last year are available NOW! The days of
door to door collecting are past, and this is a
wonderful way to support this excellent front line
charity. You can pick up your plate TODAY, on
Ash Wednesday, or the following Sunday.

let me know.”
