Andrew Biggs After depleting the local chemist of cold and flu remedies, I’ve managed to throw off the cold that has been doing its rounds like some viral form of “pass the parcel”. But despite all the bugs and viruses that arrive at the beginning of each year, I’ve always quite liked February. Lights are being turned on later, snowdrops and daffodils are popping their heads through and the promise of Spring is in the air. Saying that, it will now probably snow for the whole month and I’ll be eating my words, but I’m still hoping! Of course February also brings the start of Lent. As well as attending Lent courses, I shall repeat my performance of last year by giving up bread and cheese over the period. I say “performance” as friends and shoppers alike looked at me strangely as I pressed my face up to local delis’ windows and I resembled the “Bisto kid” every time I passed a bakers. I donated over £25 to charity last year on my savings so it was worth the pain. Brent Knoll’s Emmaus course met for the first time this year in January at the start of its new “term”. All are welcome. It is a chance to explore our spiritual journey and share our experiences in faith. And, of course, enjoy coffee, biscuits and a good chat at the end. God bless. Rosemary Krull Preachers for February at 10.30am 3rd February : Rev Andrew Biggs 10th February : Rev Pam Pembro 17th February : Mr Michael King (Vice President of Conference) / Rev Carol Gill (East Brent) 24th February : Mr Chris Luker Toddlers It is lovely to welcome everyone back for the Spring Term, hearing all about your Christmas celebrations and what presents you received - bicycles were obviously very popular! The toddlers have been busy producing some beautiful paintings as well as colouring pictures for our Winter display boards - their artwork is wonderful. Just to remind you that there will be no Toddlers on Tuesday 12th February as it is half-term week. Jane Fun in February Just another reminder for Fun in February everyone - the date is February 16th at around 10am - don't forget that drinks and biscuits are brought round by the wonder girls and then there is a ploughman’s lunch to revive everyone - all free of course! We seem to have enough potential hedge layers, but if anyone is interested, let me know in case anyone drops out or I have miscounted! It will cost about £25 and if anyone has billhooks, slashers, loppers, etc., bring them along. Everyone welcome, even as moral support, so see you there, fingers crossed that the weather is as kind as it usually is. Sue Boss CAN U HELP?
