THE SNOWDROP WALKS
Although a little chilly, the weather stayed dry for the Snowdrop Walks on the last two Sunday afternoons. A large number of visitors enjoyed walking among the snowdrops and then sampling the delicious cakes in the church. Thank you to everyone who supported the event. A wonderful £2660 was raised.

RECTOR'S
NEWSLETTER
This is Love
February 2025
Dear friends,
During February we come again to Valentine’s Day, and all the associated customs and celebrations of romantic love.
We use that one word ‘love’ to speak of many different things, not just for the love of romantic partners, but also for the love that holds families together, the love that grows between friends, and for many other things as well, from the most serious, to the trivial.
At the heart of the Christian faith is the good news of God’s love shown to us in the life, death and rising again of Jesus, and Christian people believe that every other expression of love is to be seen and understood in the light of this. As we read in the New Testament:
" Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: he sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him."
(1 John 4, v. 7-10)
Revd John Waller
