Lent in the Bodmin Team Ministry Lent Lunches 27th February 6th March 13th March 20th March 27th March Saint Meubred at Cardinham Village Hall Saint Petroc’s at Saint Petroc’s Parish Centre Greenfield with Lanivet at Bodmin College Saint Stephen at Nanstallon Methodist Chapel 5 Together Team Lunch at St Petroc’s Church All are warmly invited to the Lent Lunches across the Team. "Lent is like a long 'retreat' during which we can turn back into ourselves and listen to the voice of God, in order to defeat the temptations of the Evil One. It is a period of spiritual 'combat' which we must experience alongside Jesus, not with pride and presumption, but using the arms of faith: prayer, listening to the word of God and penance. In this way we will be able to celebrate Easter in truth, ready to renew the promises of our Baptism." -- Pope Benedict XVI Date for the Diary Thursday 16th April – St Petroc’s Church BBC Radio Cornwall are recording a ‘Hustings’ prior to the General Election. All are invited. Please be seated by 6.15 am Thank you to Brenda Dunster who has made and given an ‘Altar Book Cushion’ for Saint Petroc’s High Altar Thank you to everyone who supported Saint Petroc’s Pancake Evening on Shrove Tuesday. What was a ‘social evening’ raised £130:00 which will be put towards the new lighting for the Reredos. The cost of this will be approximately £1200 [inc vat of £200 which we would hope will be reclaimable]. There is no doubt that proper lighting will enhance this beautiful mosaic. This year our Lent Lunches will go to helping an overseas project - the ‘International Nepal Fellowship’ which helps people affected by TB, leprosy, disability, HIV / AIDS and drug abuse, facilitates development among poor communities, runs medical camps and provides medical training. Some of you will be aware that Dr Charles Collins [son of Dr Mary Collins who is a member of Saint Petroc’s congregation] and his wife Linda worked there and still visit for short periods to help out.
