St David's Day

Today is St David's Day and is being celebrated in Wales, being their patron saint. He was a monk, abbot and bishop who helped spread Christianity throughout the pagan Celtic tribes in western Britain. Thankfully, we don't have to live such a frugal life as he did to spread the Word ourselves. Unfortunately, we won't be seeing the daffodils at St Mary's for several weeks yet, due to our extremely cold winter this year. A big thank you to all those who helped raise £235 towards church funds from the Celebrations and Wedding Fair recently. Events this week are:
  • Christian Aid Lunch on Wed. 3rd at 12noon - contact Judith.
  • Cubs are visiting the church on Thursday 4th at 6.30pm.
  • Abbot Club are meeting at the Nag's Head the same day at 8.00pm.
  • Coffee Morning on Friday 5th at 10.00am.
  • Women's World Day of Prayer will be celebrated at the Baptist Church, East Leake on Friday 5th March at 7.30pm.
Hopefully, the weather will hold and all the Churchyard teams will be meeting on Saturday at 9.30am to start work on the Churchyard. New members are most welcome as we're all getting older!
