LENT LUNCHES. If there are people willing to host simple (soup and roll) lunches in the Elmham Group during March (at a time, day and venue of your choosing) please let the rector know so that we avoid 'double bookings' – although these need not necessarily be a bad thing. A donation towards a cause or charity of the host's choosing may be invited.

"CHUCH HEWMER". Since God gave us two ears and one mouth, He must have wanted us to do twice as much listening as talking.

Nicholas Varnon (Rector)
