NEW WINE SUMMER EVENT: ‘UNITED’
Advance notice: This takes place over two separate weeks each summer. This year it has been moved to Peterborough Showground, which gives our church family a good opportunity to join with 10,000 others to worship, listen to inspiring talks, see resources and have fun. People can go for a whole week or a day. We are planning to take a group for the day on Thursday 8 August. The cost is likely to be around £35 per adult; tickets will be on sale in March. If you are interested, please let Katrina know as she is compiling a list: office@meridianbenefice.org. This will be a stimulating and faith building event so I encourage you to come along. If you would like to go but feel you can’t afford it, please let me know in confidence. Sheila
MOTHERING SUNDAY 31 MARCH 2019
31 March, being the 5th Sunday of the month, would normally have a Benefice Communion Service but as it is Mothering Sunday we will celebrate it in separate services at each church. Please see future pew leaflets for more details.
