Newsletter – 1st March 2025
Dear Friends,
My thanks to the many people who came to hear Paul Nevett’s excellent sermon on the Compassion of Christ on 16 th February. I’m hoping Paul will agree to preach for us again as we all gained so much from his words. In the afternoon Sarah Rittman led a wonderful Forest Church in the afternoon on “Love”. We had some new members come to Forest Church who really enjoyed themselves.
Last week, we also had a new member in our Sunday morning congregation, baby Laurie. Thank you to Tom, Carys and Reuben for bringing him to meet us.
This week, we have had the Lordsbridge Team AGM. This seemed a good time for me to pass on the role of Acting Team Rector, which I have been doing for over a year, to someone else. Revd Clare Coates has kindly agreed to take on the ATR role. I will, of course, be continuing with my role as Team Vicar. We have some applicants for the post of Team Rector who will be interviewed in about a month.
At the AGM Peter Leech, Director of Ministry and Mission came to talk to us about the Leading your church into growth Conference. I will be attending this on 15th and 16th March with some parishioners across the team. It is now fully booked but there are still spaces online and Peter had offered to do a day for us as a Team at a later date.
Lent starts on Wednesday 5th March – do join us for an Ashing and Holy Communion Service (see poster attached).
PCC is on Wednesday 12th March at 7.30pm at the Vicarage. Victoria is also awaiting reports for the APCM on 4th May.
Forthcoming services all at 9.30am unless stated otherwise:
This coming Sunday 2nd March Sarah Rittman will be leading our All Age Service. If you’d like to listen to the new song we’ll be doing please listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UrisfM3QJA
On Wednesday 5th March Revd there will be an Ash Wednesday Holy Communion Service at St Peter’s Barton at 7pm with Revd Charles presiding and me preaching.
On Sunday 9th March, I will be with you for Holy Communion and will be posting my sermon online for the Zoom Service and there also will be Sunday Club.
On Sunday 16th Revd Priscilla will be with you for Holy Communion and in the afternoon there will be Forest Church as usual at 3pm.
On Sunday 23rd February, I will be presiding at Holy Communion and Café Saintz will meet in the café at 5pm.
Sunday 30th, I will be with you for Mothering Sunday when we will have a Village Service at All Saints at 9.30am with two choirs coming to sing for us and there will be posies of flowers. Sarah Rittman will be preaching.
On Sunday March 9th at 3pm there will be a concert to say thank you to Jose for her wonderful music ministry and to celebrate her birthday.
Please do keep in your prayers the families of Oliver Bailey and David Rutherford whose funerals will be at 12 noon on Monday 10th March and 12 noon on Monday 17th March respectively. Please also pray for our team who will be looking after the bereaved families at the funerals.
Please do read the Lordsbridge Monthly Mailing that Rebecca has just posted on the www.lordsbridge.org website and let me know if you would be interested in attending the conference on “How to Grow your Church” on 15th and 16th March in Ely 10-4pm.

With blessings,
Claire
