St Peter's Church will be running a Tombola and Children's Bran Tub at this event on June 4th. If you have suitable unwanted items for the Tombola please give them to Anne Coulson, and Bran Tub items to Ruth Barnes. We are asking in good time to give you plenty of weeks to collect … ! This will also mean that the Bran Tub items can be wrapped as they come in.

This will be held on Monday 26th March in the School. The Financial Statement and Annual Report will be distributed beforehand to those who are on the electoral roll.
During Lent we will be joining our Baptist friends for a course entitled Rich Inheritance. These sessions will be held on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm in the Baptist Church. There may be other events during Lent so please watch for details.
The other four parishes in our Mare Way Group are already involved in fundraising to support the Christians in Magomero, Malawi, who are trying to build a new church via the charity MACS (Malawi Assoication for Christian Support). The PCC in Barton feel it would be good if we as a church could help with this fundraising, so have agreed that our Easter Sunday collections will go to this cause. The connection to this project is through the parish of Haslingfield, where Bishop Mackenzie was a curate some 150 years ago before going to Malawi as a missionary. He was also Chaplain at Gonville and Caius College, which also supports the charity.
Our Lenten Soup and Roll lunch will take place on saturday February 25th, to raise money for WaterAid. This charity helps to bring clean water and sanitation to developing countries. There is no charge for the lunch but donations are invited. We will also support WaterAid by collecting jars of coins during Lent.
On Saturday February 18th we will hold our Annual Jumble Sale in the School and Village Hall. We will need lots of helpers please, in the morning to sort and set up from 10am, and again in the afternoon from 2.15pm to sell. Please let Hugh or Meta Greenfield know if you are able to assist.
