A Message from  Fr Trevor

Planned Events

Coffee Morning with Pop Up Shop - 1st Saturday of the month - 10:00 - 12:00

A chance for a social cup or coffee (or tea) and cake (lots of cake!)

The Pop Up Shop gives you a chance to sell any items that you want in aid of St Nicholas church (no electrical items please). There is a focus on plants in April and Vintage and Children’s clothing in May.

So far, this has been a really successful event with lots of people just popping in and having a look. Come and join us.

Churchyard Working Party - 1st Saturday of the month - 10:00 - 12:00

You may have noticed that the churchyard is looking beautiful at the moment. If you would like to pop along and lend a hand to keep it looking that way, feel free to come and join us. No special skills required, just bring a pair of gloves and any tools you feel comfortable using. And there is coffee and cake on offer in the hall as well.

 

Quiz night.  15th March at 6:00.

A chance to pit your wits against the questions set by Fr Trevor. I promise no knowledge of the bible needed.

Chilli and jacket potato (plus alternatives) included.

Tickets are £12 per person.

Please contact Adrienne on 07795 242519 or [email protected] or reply to this email and I will pass it on. Numbers are limited, so get in quickly to avoid disappointment.

Future Events

Details to be worked out, but we hope to organise the following:

• Hymns and Pimms on Sunday 13th July. An afternoon tea party with hymns!
• Quiz night on October 11th at 6:30. Same format as the March Quiz Night with more questions from Fr Trevor.

Help Needed

I’m sure that the refreshments team would appreciate any offers of help for any of the social events in 2025. Please let Adrienne, Heather or Avril know if you are able to help (or drop me an email and I will pass it on)

We would also appreciate people to volunteer to read the lessons on Sundays and to lead the intercessions. There is a list in church, but if you email me, I will add you name to the rota.

Watch this space! 

There are a few things that we are looking to start up over the next couple of months.

• I would like to start a group for those going through bereavement. Recent or not, talking to others who are experiencing the same as you is helpful and lets you know that you are not alone.
• We are thinking about setting up a Toddler Group. If you are interested in bringing children, grandchildren (or great grandchildren) please let me know so that we can get an idea of numbers.
• We are also looking at setting up a Film Club. Again, if you are interested, let me know (and if there are any particular films that you would like to see).
