They have issued an open invitation to all members of the congregation to attend a Bible Study from the Old Testament with group discussion led by Father Andrew. This will be a great
opportunity to meet up and to benefit from his guidance and knowledge, combined with a sense of mission to promote our fellowshiptogether.

Refreshments will be available. All very welcome.
This meeting will be on Thursday 4th February at

OBSERVING LENT IN MARCH

Lent began on Ash Wednesday on 17th February and continues for forty days until Palm Sunday on 28th March. Do make a note in your diaries about the following events for Lent.
 

Ecumenical Lent Groups
 
Neil Macdonald organises these for Churches Together in Bognor and please contact him if you would like to attend tel. 01243 820321

The Ecumenical Lent Groups that are arranged annually by Churches Together in Bognor Regis and District are a much valued opportunity for Christians from the different churches across the town to meet together in fellowship and jointly undertake some bible based study. This year just under one hundred of us in ten groups will be using the new York Course “When I Survey…Christ’s cross and ours” and we hope to have a good time, meet some new friends, and find that this material gives us a deeper understanding of the faith we share. As with previous York Courses, this one includes a well written and presented Study Booklet for all those who participate. I shall again be leading and hosting one of the groups.

Wednesday Evening Services in Church
6:30pm on 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th March

Stations of the Cross conducted by the laity and followed by a short Eucharist.
 
Sunday Evening Services
6:00pm on 7th,14th*, 21st, 28th March

The Cross: Meditations on a Theme

Each week a famous picture or sculpture of the Cross will be portrayed and this will provide a focus for readings, prayers and a short address.

(*14th March will be our normal Choral Evensong format)

The final meditation will be done in the Good Friday Liturgy which will follow a traditional service pattern as part of the Liturgy for Holy Week.

These meditations will help us as we observe the Stations of the Cross and on Good Friday.


7:30pm Tuesday 9th March 2010

St. Mary's Church Felpham

Talk by The Rev. Canon Andrew White
'The Vicar of Bagdad'

The Reverend Canon Andrew White “The Vicar of Baghdad” will be talking about his ministry and work in Iraq and promises to be a fascinating evening.

The talk will take place in St. Mary’s church at 7.30pm and there will be coffee and biscuits to follow.

Because of the nature of this event I would very much like to open it up to all the churches in Bognor Regis and district. The church can accommodate 300 people at most, so seating is at a premium. If you, and members of your congregation would like to join us, please could I ask you to contact my secretary by 19th February 2010 to indicate the number of seats you require. We will do all we can to accommodate as many as possible.

An A4 poster is attached, which we hope will be useful to promote the evening. If you would like more information about Andrew and his work, please do visit www.frrme.org. the website of The Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East.

We look forward to welcoming you to St Mary’s.

Fr. Timothy Peskett, Rector, St. Mary’s Church in Felpham
