There will be a service on Ash Wednesday (February 17th) at 7pm using Zoom. There will be an opportunity to ‘ash’ yourself – have some suitable ashes available, Please let Kate know if you want to join and the link will be sent to you.

Immediately following this, we will start studying a book called ‘The Prayers of Jesus’. This will be over 6 weeks and covers some of the known prayers Jesus is recorded as saying. If you want to join this, please let Kate know again, and also if you want a copy of the book, please let Chris Prior know asap. The book costs £7.

If you cannot join us, but want a challenge, there are many other opportunities to study. The book from the Archbishop of Canterbury is very good. There is a York course and many others are available. Look at options on www.eden.co.uk

As most of you will know the church is having a bit of a make over. The South Porch is being re-tiled and having new doors fitted. Work began a couple of weeks ago with our builder, John Howlett. So far the tiles have been removed, as have the thresholds and doors. We are hoping to have the work finished by the end of February. A couple of photos below. Watch this space and we’ll try and keep you updated.

Don’t forget the Nativity Trail along Rectory Lane tomorrow (24th December) evening between 3 and 6 pm. A series of tableau depicting the Nativity Story starting at No 24 and continuing to the end of the lane. Refreshments of mulled wine, drinks. mince pies and other goodies at the far end. Donations for the work of the Childrens’ Society would be welcomed. Thanks to Damsons, Linda Morris and countless other village residents for supporting this event, as well as the residents making their gardens available.

As the Christingle cannot take place this year an alternative would be to tell the Christmas Story ( Scarecrow like) along Rectory Lane.

We have enough gardens but now need models – we need the following:

4 Mary’s – two to be pregnant

3 Joseph’s

2 Large Angels

6 Small Angels

1 Inn Keeper

2 Donkeys

4 Shepherds

4 Sheep

6 Kings

2 Big StarsOx

4 Gazebos

Some Battery powered fairy lights props/costumes that could be used. It will be on display from lunchtime Christmas Eve culminating in a socially distance mulled wine and mince pies accompanied by Carols from 4-6

If you are feeling creative please let Kate know what you can do 01332 834928. Let’s embrace this with our great village spirit.

In advance of the APCM on 7 October, a revised roll has been published. The revised roll is attached to this post.

Come and join us for a socially-distanced Coffee Morning in the Church garden on Monday morning, August 31^st. You will need to bring your own flask of coffee, or other beverage, your own cup and anything you may want to eat. We will provide chairs. It would be lovely to see you and spend a little time catching up and chatting. We will only meet if the weather is favourable.

Please see the latest prayer link for our area.

Finally we are able to gather again for worship.

Our first service at Breadsall will be at 10:15 on the 26th of July and it is our intention to continue with that service each Sunday going forward.
