This Monday 2nd March we will be holding cluster meetings – but all under one roof – at St Cyr’s Stonehouse at 7pm. We will be thinking about the summer and ways in which we can reach our communities during the warm sunny days (hopefully!). These meetings are open to anyone, so please do come along and share your ideas and thoughts. We hope that by meeting all together we will be able to be even more creative than we already are!

Eco Tip – small things we can do to help care for God’s creation
March Eco- Tip from A Rocha
Take part in a local litter pick or beach clean during
The Great British Spring Clean (Friday 13-Sunday
29 March), the nation’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign. Litter picking benefits
the environment by removing rubbish that can
be hazardous for wildlife and helps bring people
together.
See if there’s a litter pick in your local area
or consider organising your own – after church on
Sunday or with a youth group for example. Pray
for your local area as you do the litter pick and ask
God for opportunities to share why you are doing
it. Find out more and pledge to pick up a bag at
http://keepbritaintidy.org/our-work/eliminating-litter/ great-british-spring-clean

LENT
All our Lent Groups are now meeting this week. There are seven groups meeting on lots of different days and times so hopefully there will be one to suit you! You can find the latest details of them all here or by clicking the button at the bottom of the page. Please note there are a couple of venue changes due to the heating at Framilode Church being out of action. The Tuesday afternoon group that was meeting at St Peters will now meet at Pike House, Saul – details in the leaflet.
The Chosen Lent group has had another change of venue – no longer meeting at Frampton Church but instead meeting at St Mary’s House, The Street, Frampton GL2 7ED
If none of those times suit you or you want to do something on your own the Lent bible study booklet put together by Revd Liz for Stroudwater Team can be downloaded here or at the bottom of the page. The leaders guide is available here
