General News for both parishes (unless stated)
A SAD WEEK-END. Last week-end we heard that three of the men who have been on our Prayer List over recent weeks died - Dave Janisch (friend of Kim & Sue Pegrum's), Joseph Morris and Basil Rooney. We now know that Basil's funeral will be at St Mary's on the 6th March at 11.30am, and Joseph's funeral also at St Mary's on Saturday March 21st at 2.00pm. Please continue to pray for their families and friends.
FRIDAY MARCH 6TH at 1.30pm, St Mary's will host the 2009 local Service for the Women's World Day of Prayer. As part of this Service, the URC Minister - the Rev. David Vincent - will tell a little of his time in Papua New Guinea. Come along and share in this annual Service that unites Christians around the world in prayer and worship.
CHILDREN'S CORNER IN CHURCH. We would like to reorganise the children's corner in St Mary's church so that it is brighter and more inviting for the children who use it. Do you have any ideas or requests that we can pass on to the PCC, or would you be able to help with the practical transformation. We would love to hear from you. Please contact Jo Parker (873229) or Jo Hargrave (872995).
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 there are four 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. Preparation sessions will begin very soon.
COFFEE MORNING, Saturday March 7th, 10.30-12.30, at Alva House, High Easter Road, Barnston. In aid of St Andrew's Flower Fund.

MARK'S FAREWELL LUNCH. Sign up to be part of Mark's Farewell Lunch on Sunday March 29th. We need to know how many people to cater for - so please add your name TODAY (before you forget!!) on the lists that are in church.
MARK'S FAREWELL PRESENTATION. If you wish to contribute towards the cost of the gifts to be presented to Mark as he leaves us, please hand your contribution to the clergy, Readers or Churchwardens.
A HUGE THANK YOU to the team that organized last night's Barn Dance. The enormous amount of work was rewarded by a fantastic evening. Thank you all very much.
CAN YOU GIVE AN HOUR A MONTH to the service of St Mary's? The gallant band of church cleaners is being depleted by a combination of age, weariness and illness. There is space for you on each of the teams. The camaraderie makes the task more pleasant. So, please offer your help via Vera.
THE NEW QUIET GARDEN leaflet is available at the back of the church. Some of the days are filling up quickly so book early to avoid disappointment.
