General News for both parishes (unless stated)
CONFIRMATION PREPARATION. The Bishop of Colchester is coming to St Mary's on Sunday May 24th at 6.00pm to conduct a Confirmation Service for us and, possibly, other folk from our Deanery. So far I have three youngsters who wish to be prepared to be Confirmed this year. Youngsters aged 13+ and adults who wish to take this step forward in their faith need to let David Ainge know before the end of January. Preparation sessions will begin in February.
FRIENDS OF GREAT DUNMOW CLINIC. "Italian Evening" at Chequers Lane Day Centre on 7 February at 7.00pm. Tickets will cost £12.50 and include a 3 course Italian meal (bring your own drinks and glasses); also music, raffle and table quiz, all Italian-themed of course! Tickets from Wendy Barron (01371 859803).
FUN ON A FEBRUARY NIGHT. What better way is there to shake off the February blues than to enjoy the sound of a live Folk Band and join in a range of well-known Barn Dances? Well St Mary's church folk are organising such an evening for Saturday February 28th (7.00pm for 7.30pm) in the Foakes Hall. The music will be provided by the Most Unexpected Band, and there will be a Licensed Bar and a Raffle.
Tickets, including a Ploughman's Supper, cost £10 per adult, £5 for under-16's, with under-3's free - or a Family Ticket [2 adults & 2 children] costing £25. These will very soon be available from Sonia Lindsey on 876360, or can be booked by e-mail on barndance@stmarysgreatdunmow.org.uk
All funds from the evening will help the work of the local parish church.
PETER AND THE FOLK AT OSAKA. Please keep the members of St Mary's linked church of St Paul's, Osaka in your prayers. Peter Mallett has particularly asked for our prayers at this time; St Paul's is reviewing the format of its English-language worship and needs guidance in relation to the development of its ministry to English speaking Christians in the area.
