It was such a busy weekend last week - and much to be thankful for - Helen's licensing, and we welcome Helen to the benefice.  The Unity service was a lovely evening, with worship, lovely music and food and friendship!  Messy church with the story of turning water into wine and using the bins to visualise how much wine!  Thanks to everyone who worked so hard for all these events.

On Sunday 26^th January, there is an 8:30 am Holy Communion at Heckfield, at 10am Holy Communion at  St John's, Hook, at 11 am Morning Worship in Heckfield,  and at 6pm a Holy Communion in Hook.  

This week its the week of Prayer for Christian Unity - in our unity service we learnt that it's 1,700 years since the Council of Nicaea, from where we get the Nicene Creed. And this year's focus is on what we believe.  There is a booklet to go along side this week, with readings & reflections - if you would like to download it, you can from https://ctbi.org.uk/

The Zoom code for the Weekly Wednesday Worship has recently changed.  The details will be shown in the calendar entry.

Dates for your diaries:  On 25th January we have our first Charity breakfast of the year at St John's, come and join us for breakfast, and hopefully to find out more about Ocean Stars which is one of the charities we will be supporting for the next year or two.  On 31st January we will be running the first of the Souper Organ series of lunchtime soup lunch followed by a short organ recital!
