PHOTO BOARD: New photos for everyone in our church community need to be taken to ensure our entrance hall looks up to date so be prepared to have your photo taken in the coming weeks.
The Reverend Samuel Ntoyimondo: For the next 6 months Samuel will be assisting at St. Johns Perry Barr, to broaden his experience of ministry in the Church of England. So you may not see him very often at St. Bernards. There are one or two services when he will be with us. During that time Seraphine would like to continue to worship with us at St. Bernards, but would need a lift to come.
If there is someone who is able to pick her up she would be very grateful. They live in Perry Wood Road. Please speak to Helen or Seraphine herself if you feel you could do this. Or if there are a number of people who might be able to alternate, that would be very helpful.
MALAWI APPEAL: A container is once again being sent to Malawi in March with a variety of goods, which will be of benefit to them; including used childrens & babies clothes, terry nappies, and toys, which are clean and in good condition,for use in hospitals or AIDS orphans. Childrens books, sports boots and equipment are also in demand. There is a leaflet in the porch with details on. We are also asked to contribute £6.00 per cu. ft. to cover the costs. Maybe this is something we could support during Lent.
All the goods need to be taken to St. Georges Community hub in Newtown on 26th March. Please speak to Helen or Denise about this.
