Lenten Study Group  Please mark your calendars for Wednesdays in Lent when St Paul’s and St Stephen’s will lead a Lenten Group study starting on March 1. The Study is called “Difference” and has been developed by the Church of England and run internationally over the last two years. “Difference” is a course that explores following Jesus in a complex and divided world, seeing transformation through everyday encounters. The meetings will be held at St Stephen’s between 6 and 8:30pm and the format will be a worship service followed by a simple supper of soup and bread and then the interactive course session. More details of this exciting parish(es) event to follow..

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper and Bingo  St. Stephen’s is hosting a pancake supper and bingo on February 21 in Fay Hall at St. Stephen’s. Pancakes will be served from 5.00 – 6.30 pm, and we will play bingo from 6.30 – 8.30 pm. This is an event for all our church family, young and not so young, so come prepared to eat pancakes and have fun playing bingo.

Ash Wednesday Services  There will be two services held on Ash Wednesday, February 22.  St. Paul’s will host a service at noon, and St. Stephen’s will hold one at 7:00 p.m.   All are welcome to both services.

Paper Goods/Trash Bags Needed  St. Paul’s is once again running low on toilet paper and paper towels, as well as trash bags, 45 gallon for the kitchen's  large black buckets and 20 gallon white bags for the smaller rubbish buckets.  Any donations are appreciated.  Thanks to all who have donated in the past.
