It’s for good reason that one of the old names for February is mud month – although January has also deserved that name this year! February is a month of contrasts not only due to the weather but to the range of events within it, not least Candlemas, Valentine’s Day, Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. At what can still be a bleak time of year, it’s good to celebrate light and love as well as thinking about where our journey through life is taking us and why.
The following services will be held at the church or centre according to the weather:
Candlemas, Thursday 2nd, noon, Holy Eucharist.
Sunday 5th, Third before Lent, 3pm, service of reflection.
Thursday 9th, noon, Holy Eucharist.
Sunday 12th, Creation Sunday, 3pm, service of reflection.
Wednesday 15th, 10.30am at the centre, Julian Group
Thursday 16th, noon, Holy Eucharist
Sunday 19th, 3pm, service of reflection.
Ash Wednesday, 22nd February, 10am – Holy Eucharist and Ashing. Please note that, due to this, there will be no service on Thursday 23rd.
Sunday 26th, 3pm, Holy Eucharist for the First Sunday of Lent
All services will be followed by refreshments at the centre and further information is available on 01691 860408 or admin@stmelangell.org
With my prayers; pob bendith,
