Holy Communion: All are welcome at the altar rail. If you are a communicant member of your own Church, you are welcome to receive the Sacrament here; or if you would like to receive a blessing, please come forward with a hymn book and bow your head.
Evensong 26th February
Our monthly Evensong, with choir, hymns, an anthem, sung canticles and responses, and a sermon, takes place today at 6.30 pm. It would be good to see the chancel full of people!
Grub, Games and God
Attention those coming to our next “Grub, Games and God” meeting on Friday 3rd March at 5.15 pm. We will be celebrating the Jewish festival called “Purim Holi”, when we observe Good over Evil.
We are all in party mood for this, and if you wish to wear a fancy dress of your choice it will help to get us all in the swing. Lucilia is very kindly going to make us some Jewish food. Do come and make some fun together. Gill

Syria/Turkey Earthquake Appeal
Thanks to all who contributed to the recent Earthquake Appeal. A total of £300 was raised and has been sent to the Disasters Emergency Committee. Robert Francis
Sale of Pews
The small pews from the North Aisle of the church have all been sold, but we have a few from the South Aisle, slightly longer at 6ft 3in. They are made of oak and come with cushions. We sold two at one auction for £75 each, and two at another auction for £95 each, so the suggested donation to the Transformation Fund of £75 is fair.
Delivery can be arranged. If you are interested please contact me on 01480 393 392, otherwise we’ll send them to the auction. Robert Francis
Donation to Thrive
The Coffee & Croissants in January and the Bacon Butties last Sunday raised a total of £185, which has been sent to Thrive, the youth support charity which operates in the Huntingdon area. Thanks to all who contributed to this impressive total. Charities Committee
