Kingsland News February 2015 Marmalade I wonder whether you make marmalade, or whether you would like to this year? It is the year, don’t you think, with Paddington the movie on the screens. I wonder if we might make marmalade for the ebola crisis? Not to send, but to raise some money to send? Well now is the time, so if you fancy getting involved, get the marmalade making pans out. More details as time goes by…. Apologies to Roy Palmer whose name I got wrong in the last magazine. Thanks again Roy for inspiring us to sing and dance as we came down the church path on the way to the Christmas Fair – for the fairground organ you brought along. Thanks too, to Johnny Price for bringing the plough down to church in January for the annual plough blessing service – our thoughts and prayers are with all our farmers as they prepare the ground and sow the seeds this year. A couple of events in February to bring us together at the end of the dark months: firstly a coffee morning at the Rectory on Wednesday 11th February from 10.30am, with a
chance to catch up and sit down together and chew the cud!! Cost £3 for coffee and cake and a few more things to tempt you in the week before Lent begins. Talking of Lent: we are once again preparing small gifts for Mothering Sunday for the children at school to buy for their mums. If you have anything at home that might be a gift please bring it along to church or one of these events and we will gather them all together. The other event in February is a Curry Evening at the Coronation Hall on Saturday, February 28th. Last year’s was great fun and I even managed a dance or two with my husband –so that is a spectacle in itself. Hope to see some of you at these events. In all the chaos around us, what is most important? It is each other and our relationships. The wedding service begins God is Love and those who live in love, live in God and God lives in them. In the month of St Valentine, who has a rather dubious history if you look under the surface, may you treasure those close to you, and remember that God loves you too. Julie
