As we approach Ash Wednesday on the 13th February you are invited to return last year’s Palm crosses so they can be prepared as ash for this year’s imposition of ash. They may be left at the back of Church or given to Revd. Hilary.

LENT LUNCHES

Watch out for posters advertising the popular Friday Lent lunches, which will start on Friday, 15 February from 12 noon in the Oxnam Room. There will be soup, roll and butter and a pudding, all for only £4.00, and we hope that there will be a takeaway service as well. The lunches are all provided by volunteers drawn from the Anglican and Methodist churches.

 

ST NEWLINA’S FEAST WEEKEND

This year following the success of last years wedding dress display the parish church would like to put on a display of photos taken in and around St Newlyn East over the past 60 years. Do you have photos of any of the numerous organisations we have had in the village in the past and still active to this day. Maybe you have carnival photos, school photos, girl guide/ brownie, scout/ cubs, church fete, women's institute, sports clubs and so many more .Perhaps photos of before any new housing was built, the possibilities are endless. If you have anything you think people would like to see and remember from the past please contact Linda Angove on  510778

 
CHRISTMAS COLLECTIONS

We are pleased to announce that we have been able to send a donation of £212 to the Precious Lives appeal which was collected at the Christmas lights service, the carol service and the special tree in church.  Also we have sent a donation of £158 to the Church of England Children’s Society from the collection at the crib service. At the request of the PCC it will be used by this National organisation to fund work for children in Cornwall, in which we can be involved.

FOODBANK

Thanks to the generosity of people in the village, we have been able to give the FoodBank a further 36kg of food, which is an amazing total. During Lent there will be a FoodBank collection box in the church  so we can continue to support this charity. We would like to thank Dave and Corinne for kindly keeping our collection box in the Londis shop during December and also thanks to the school for continuing to collect food. 

 

JANUARY’S CURRY AND QUIZ NIGHT

This event raised £200 for the church and was enjoyed by everyone who attended. Special thanks go to the quizmaster, Steve, for  his entertaining and challenging questions and to Tim and his team at the Pheasant Inn for their hospitality. 

 

CHURCH FLOODLIGHTING

During January and February the church has been floodlit in memory of Bill Grose,  in memory of absent friends and in appreciation of John and Janette Steer and the village lights committee who make our village look so lovely over Christmas. If you would like the church to be floodlit to commemorate an event that is special to you, you can find the envelopes to do this at the back of the church (near the entrance). It costs only £10 for one week and you will know that the lighting up is especially for you. During Lent the tower will not be floodlit. 

 

LENT LUNCHES

Watch out for posters advertising the popular Friday Lent lunches, which will start on Friday, 15 February from 12 noon in the Oxnam Room. There will be soup, roll and butter and a pudding, all for only £4.00, and we hope that there will be a takeaway service as well. The lunches are all provided by volunteers drawn from the Anglican and Methodist churches.  

 

 

MESSY CHURCH

The next Messy Church will take place on Sunday, 28 April, the Feast weekend, and will form a part of the special celebrations. There will not be a Messy Church before then in the village (sorry!), but you may like to know that there will be a Truro Cathedral Messy Church called Lent Lanterns on Sunday, 2 March from 2.30pm to 5.00pm.  Just like our Messy Church, it is free, but booking is advised. To book a place or get further information, please contact  shelley.porter@truro.anglican.org
