Latest news update

A message from Andrew:

Dear Friends,
This week I’d like to share a quote that gave impetus to last Sunday’s reflective service. The quote goes: ‘ The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth they can accept about themselves without running away.’ What is amazing is that Jesus offers to walk with us so that we don’t need to run away.  Isn’t that fabulous!
God bless,
Andrew


Prayer for the week: Please pray for the Lent Course, for the leaders who are preparing now, and for people who are planning to attend.
 

Accessibility Audit: Janice Folkett is about to begin an accessibility audit for church. If anyone has any contributions to improve 

  • Physical access
  • Access to materials
  • Access to church communications 

please let Janice know.  Her email here: Janice Folket

Heating in the Hermitage: If you turn the heating up in the Hermitage, please could you make sure you turn it down again to the default temperature (currently 15 degrees) before you go? If you leave it, the Hermitage is heated all the time until I next come in and that will prove expensive. Thanks. 

Church Electoral Roll - important: Every 6 years the church electoral roll has to be renewed; the last time we did this was 2019, so this year it needs to be compiled from scratch again. Everyone in church over the age of 16 who wishes to be on the electoral roll must complete a registration form. Being on the electoral roll is an official way of showing you are part of our church family; it means you can vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) and stand for election to the PCC.
All forms must be handed in by 
Tuesday 4 March 2025. Please pick up a form from the back of church and return them in the box that’s next to the forms. Alternatively, you can complete the form electronically by downloading it from this link: Electoral Roll Form. Then email the form to the administrator before the deadline. If you have any questions, email the office and our Electoral Roll Officer Jenny Boniface will respond.

Wheelchair wanted - Do you have a wheelchair that you no longer need? Or do you know of someone who is no longer needing a wheelchair?  If you do, and you or they are looking to part with the wheelchair - please contact Debbie King Debbie King.  Many thanks.

Tuesday sewing group: We have a small sewing group in the Hermitage garden room on Tuesday mornings. People bring their own crafting activities and work together. It's a very friendly morning with coffee and biscuits for £2.50. (If we have more people, we can reduce the fee). If you're interested, let Nikki Roe know or just turn up to the Hermitage at 10 am on Tuesday.

EWOAP, from Dorothy: This month's Eternal Wall Answer To Prayer is a reminder that when we lose something, Jesus knows where it is and what/who is needed to find it. Click this link to see the item: Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer.

Christians Against Poverty: Here is the link to the latest newsletter from Christians Against Poverty, one of the charities that the church supports. Christians Against Poverty Newsletter.

Children's Activities: There are organised children’s activities provided by St Peter’s and Ruddington Baptist Churches most Sundays (term time only) from 11:00 - 11:45am in St Peter’s Rooms where the Baptist Church meet. Generally the age group catered for is  KS1, KS2 and KS3. Younger children would need a parent with them. We also have a creche for our youngest children.

Your News Snippets Still Wanted: For example, any challenges that have been overcome or what Christian resources you have found helpful. Or indeed, any other faith or church-related news. So, if you have something you would like to share, it doesn’t have to be “special”, send your contribution to Nikki Roe at ruddoffice@gmail.com – suggested length about 250 words maximum.
