News for 27 February 2022

Ash Wednesday – 2nd March
If you haven’t brought your palm cross from last year, please drop it off in the porch before Tuesday ready for burning for Ash Wednesday. A Eucharist with Imposition of Ashes will be celebrated at 1900.

Healing Services
These will resume on the first Sunday of each month at 1700, beginning on Sunday 6th March, to coincide with the beginning of Lent and the second anniversary (almost) of the first national lockdown of the pandemic.

Funeral this week
The funeral of Pat Vine RIP will be held in church on Wednesday at 1400.

Knit & Natter
The group will meet this week on Tuesday, to avoid clashing with the Ash Wednesday service. It usually meets on Wednesdays at 1900 in church. New members always welcome. We knit and we natter. Just come along! The group will break for Easter and will not be meeting on Wednesdays 13th and 20th April. Meetings will resume on 27th April. Sue Leaney – 07803 179 617

A legacy
We have received notification of an unrestricted bequest of £5,000 from the estate of the late Peter Leigh RIP whom many members of the congregation will remember for his devotion and service to St Margaret’s, especially in his work as Sacristan.

Medicine blister pack recycling
Unfortunately, due to a lack of volunteers, we can no longer recycle blister packs at St Margaret’s Church. The only re-cycling point in Brighton is at the SUPERDRUG store at 77 Western Road, close to Waitrose.
