How to succeed in giving things up for Lent
Keith admits to being inspired
February 17 is Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent, the traditional period of abstinence and fasting. Personally, I'm fed up with failing to give up what I have vowed to give up. However, I no longer feel I can get away with giving up giving things up for Lent, so this little story I found in a book really appealed to me. It gave me an idea for surviving this year's 40 days! read on..
Shop online and raise funds for the parish
The PCC have given approval to raising funds from on-line shopping. As you’ll see by clicking on this link, the Parish of Burchetts Green has its own webshop providing access to over 150 retailers’ on-line shopping facilities (eg M&S, John Lewis) and will receive a percentage commission on anything bought, at no extra cost to the purchaser.
The retailers involved pay commission on everything you buy - but only if you do it through our webshop. The more the webshop is used, the more funds raised for the parish.
Ash Wednesday 17th February
Wednesday 17th is Ash Wednesday. There will be two services in the Parish. At 11.30 in Stubbings there will be a traditional language BCP service with hymns and ashing.
In the evening, 7.30pm in Littlewick Green. there will be a
Communion Service with imposition of ashes.

Dilys reflects on New Year's Challenges
and....Living Faith
....The year ahead will have its challenges and I believe we can best meet them with a renewed sense of living our faith in a practical but prayer-centred way. The 'Living Faith' model that the Oxford diocese has adopted for the next five year plan will help us to bring this about. The Living Faith Prayer, written by the Bishop of Oxford gives us our starting point. read more..
New

new pattern of services, which will commence in February, has been
discussed with each church’s Local Committee and agreed with the P.C.C.
A letter

available at the back of each church.
Open House
Keith
and Pam would like to thank all of you who came and made our 'Open
House' so enjoyable for us both. Thank you too to those who left plants
and chocolates and other gifts - we feel we did not have the
opportunity to thank you all properly on the day and in one or two
instances we are not sure who brought what - so please take this as a
big thank you from us both.
