Services at your local Churches.

The monthly meeting of St Wilfrid’s Mothers’ Union took place on Thursday, 2 March.  Following a communion service in the Church, the members adjourned to the hall for a talk. This was given by Janice Lunn and Yvonne Smith from the Leicestershire diocese.  Their talk focused on the projects MU have become involved with during the seventy year reign of Queen Elizabeth II who had been the Patron of the MU organisation. 

St Andrew’s Church at Burton Overy

The Bishop of Leicester is planning to use the weekends during Lent to make pilgrimages to many of the smaller churches in the Diocese. On Saturday 11 March he will be in Gartree Deanery, in the Chronicle’s locality, spending the day walking and praying at and in between different churches and communities. He will welcome companions to walk with him for all or part of the day or to meet him on the way to share in his time of prayer and walking.

Did your children love coming to Sparklers on Fridays? We had so much fun getting to know them and thought it would be great to reconnect. So we're starting a new Christian Youth Group in the Church Hall. The group is for young people who are turning 11 in year 6 up to age 14 years. This will take place once a month on a Sunday evening from 5:30-7:30pm. There will be food, probably pizza!

A New Year Message

First question here is who was St Wilfrid? Wikipedia tells us Wilfrid (c 633 – 709 or 710) was an English bishop and saint. Born a Northumbrian noble, he entered religious life as a teenager and studied at Lindisfarne, at Canterbury, in Francia, and at Rome; he returned to Northumbria in about 660, and became the abbot of a newly founded monastery at Ripon.
