For all those affected by the developing situation in the Middle East. For Christians in Nigeria amidst widespread persecution. For our PCC meetings and Youth Alpha. For all those in our churches who are unwell, recovering from surgery or undergoing treatment, including Pauline Gill, Phyll Greed, Christine Wright, Bob Lampert & Yvonne Guerin. For those who are grieving for a loved one they have lost including the family of Kathie Ingham & Richard Frapwell.
Lent Study Group
Alongside our house groups, it's still not too late to join our Lent daytime study group in the Mission Church on Wednesday mornings at 11.15am. Using material from a book called 'The Whole Easter Story, you will find further details in February Life Magazine. Please speak to Susan Ripley (Parish Church) for more information or just come along.
Lent Resources
There are a wealth of resources for personal use during Lent, including the Carbon Fast (see separate notice) and apps on phones, if you have a smartphone. The Church of England and Tearfund for example offer downloadable daily resources.
Youth Alpha
This starts on Monday 9th and will run alternate Mondays to Youth Hub. Each session unpacks one main topic, and is designed to spark conversation. Come along, see what you think. (For young people aged 12 - 18).
Mothering Sunday at St Andrew's
On Sunday 15th March the 10am service at St Andrew's Compton Dundon will have a particular focus on celebrating Mothering Sunday. The service, suitable for all ages, is being advertised around the village and elsewhere.
Electoral Roll
Have you signed up for the electoral roll? If you are new or are feeling new, you may not have signed up for our church electoral roll. This is the nearest we have to a 'membership' and it's really helpful to have all those who worship with us on the roll. It also entitles you to free entry to Wells Cathedral as a visitor! Forms are available in our churches or speak to your electoral roll officer, details in Life magazine, or to your church warden.
Warm Space
Our warm space meets on Saturdays from 11am - 1pm. A place for good food, good company and a warm welcome. If you are aware of people who would value this, please use one of the postcards in our churches to invite them along.
Walton Friends
Our fortnightly group is meeting this Friday, 13th March, 2 - 4pm in Walton Church. Bring craft and come along for tea, cake and good conversation.
Celebrate@6
Our next Celebrate@6 informal service will be on Sunday 15th March at 6pm in the Mission Church. We will be welcoming John Melia from the Salvation Army who will be speaking about God@work in his context. All are welcome and refreshments are available.
Connections@the Mission
Join us for tea, cake, good conversation and a talk by Jane Tompsett (Mission Church) about her time serving with the Leprosy Mission in Nigeria and elsewhere. Mission Church, Thursday 19th March from 2.30pm.
SWCD Churches Book Group
The next meeting will be on Tuesday 24th March at 11am in the Mission Church. Please speak to Susan Ripley (Parish Church) for more details.
