BART Women’s Fellowship
Cancelled until further notice
The speaker at the March meeting was Lisa Nissen, who had chosen as her theme “Mindful Making’, exploring the opportunities which we all enjoy to express our God given creativity. It is amazing to explore the talents which our members have and which they very rarely speak about.
The Power of Prayer chain
A team of church members committed to prayer has formed and is growing. If you have a prayer request, please email Linda (link), who will be circulating prayer requests, confidentially, to the payer chain team in the evening of every day.
In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4: 6–7
Bible Studies
Tuesday Lunch Time Bible Study
Cancelled until further notice
Wednesday evening Bible Study
Cancelled until further notice
Church Preserves
Last year the amount raised from selling preserves in the church was slightly down on previous years, £845, still a worthwhile sum. Many thanks to all those who contribute in so many different ways to the success of the venture .
For those who may be new to the village, and who may like to support us, the church is open every day and is closer than the shops if you need a jar of marmalade, jam or chutney.
BART Blend Apple Juice
professionally juiced from apples grown in BART
available for purchase every day
in All Saints Birling and St Peter & St Paul Trottiscliffe
£2.50 per bottle
profits towards fund raising
for improved facilities in both churches
Food bank box
If you choose to donate biscuits to the food bank box in the church porch I’m sure that they will be enjoyed by the recipients, but please don’t think that someone has pinched them when they disappear. There seems to be a mouse that likes biscuits too! So the biscuits will be stored at Commority until there are enough other goodies in the box to take it to Margaret Ivell in Birling, who coordinates the deliveries to the Pilsdon centre.
Thursday Morning Prayer
Come and join us in bible reading and prayer for our communities, including our schools, the world, and the church at 8.30am for half an hour at St Peter & St Paul, Trottiscliffe, each Thursday morning.
