Comments Off on Save Our Post Office

Many of our readers will be aware that Mrs Maureen Rickard, the Village Postmistress, has been given notice to vacate the existing post office building. The Perceval Institute Management Committee is striving hard to relocate the Post Office to the rear of the Perceval Institute building but this comes at enormous cost. A fund raising appeal is being launched at a  COFFEE MORNING in the Perceval Institute on Saturday 8th July 2017 10am to 12noon. Admission is £2.50 which will include coffee and biscuits and various stalls.

This is your opportunity to see the design plans and talk to members of the Committee. Please come along and show your support for our most valuable village asset.

Pilgrimage with Mark’s Gospel

Comments Off on Pilgrimage with Mark’s Gospel

Mondays, 7-8.30pm, 9th January – 27th February, 2017
Most people think of a pilgrimage as a visit to a particular place but in truth we are on a Christian journey our whole lives. You are invited to join an eight week pilgrimage that is a journey together, in the Gospel of Mark in January and February. We plan to meet once a week on Mondays at Jill and Henry Gompertz’ house. Henry will prepare some material but this will be a journey together. Hopefully (in every sense) we will arrive at a different place from where we started and with a deeper knowledge of the shortest, most direct, and probably oldest gospel. If you plan to come along it would be a great help to let Jill or Henry know in advance but you can come anyway. Contact: 01208 869421.
