From the Wardens…
Your church needs you!
Like any family, each of us has responsibilities and areas of service where we can be of help. As we emerge from winter and absorb the impact of the exciting graft with St Oswald’s church, there is an urgent need to strengthen the various teams of volunteers that are essential in ensuring the church functions effectively and safely. Please consider how you can contribute. There is a need for welcomers, communion assistants, PCC members, support for the sound desk and visuals as well as a need for volunteers to take up the two vacant deputy warden positions following the APCM in May. The role of churchwarden is a privilege and, as shown in the word cloud below, is both varied and an opportunity to make a real contribution to the life of the church.
If you feel able to volunteer for any of these roles, please speak to one of us and we will be delighted to give more information.
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace” – Peter 4:9

Church News
Annette Croot
Annette’s daughter Liz writes “It is with sadness that we share the news that Annette Croot died peacefully on 26th January. The funeral will be held at All Saints on Monday 23rd of February at 11:30 am, followed by refreshments at the Norfolk Arms, Ringinglow. All who knew her are welcome.”
Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme
Thank you to everyone who gives regularly by Standing Order to support our church’s ministry - your generosity is hugely appreciated. If you pay sufficient tax it helps greatly if you complete a gift aid certificate so we can claim 25% extra on your gift. Last year we were able to claim over £85,000 this way.
What you may not know is that we also benefit from the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS). This lets us claim an extra 25% on cash or contactless gifts of £30 or less, without a Gift Aid certificate. Each tax year, we can claim on up to £8,000 of these donations, generating up to £2,000 income for the church.
To 31 January, we’ve received £6,196 in eligible donations for 2025/26 and we’d love, with your help, to reach the full £8,000 by 5 April.
This Sunday as we come to worship together, we will be highlighting the scheme and would be grateful for any small donations. Please no foreign currency, and if you bring lots of small change, be ready to help count and bag it for the bank! Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Phil will be joining us at the 6pm Youth Service on Sunday 1st March to talk about his life, his successes and how encountering Jesus began his discipleship journey.

Prayer Box
Mark is preaching at the Mi Amigo service 2pm this Sunday afternoon. The service is held in remembrance of the crew of the WWII American B-17 Flying Fortress ‘Mi Amigo’, which crashed in our parish in February 1944 after sustaining heavy damage during a bombing mission on the continent. We hold a remembrance service for the 'Mi Amigo' crew every year, starting with a wreath laying ceremony in Endcliffe Park (at the site of the crash), followed by a service at St Augustine’s. Do pray for this time or attend if you are free.
For our curate, Ben, who will be going to the New Wine leadership conference in Harrogate this week – that he would be encouraged and equipped.
Mark is involved in the interview process for the new Vicar of St Gabriels on Thursday 26th February.
Pray for the upcoming Alpha day away on Saturday 28th February, when our Alpha guests will be going to Eyam to explore what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
