Heating in church

We are exploring more environmentally and effective ways of heating our lovely but very large building.  One option we are considering is heated pew cushions.  Message from Lorna on this:

We are all invited to St Swithin's Leadenham for their 10.30am service on Sunday February 13th - to worship with them and to try out their heated pew cushions! 

So there won't be a 9.30am service here at Nocton that Sunday.

I'm hoping people will be able to share cars, even if it means travelling there with the windows wide open.

 

More future events!

 The attached poster referred to in the first announcement is in the previous post and is also on our "What's On" page.

Food bank

We continue to support the All Saints Branston Food Bank.  Donations can be left in the church porch when the building is closed.  The Food Bank provides vital support to families in Branston and surrounding villages (including Nocton).

Christmas Day Services

A note for clarification - the Christmas Day service at 11 am is at Branston, not Potterhanworth (this is stated incorrectly in some information).  There is also a service at Nocton at 10 am as previously indicated.

Resourcing Sustainable Church

The notes of the Resourcing Sustainable Church meeting held at the end of August are now available via the link. The notes refer to a "type 2" church; this should read "type 3" (also referred to as a "community church" which is the correct description).

If anyone would like more information, the Diocese of Lincoln has a web page dedicated to this important subject.

Lincolnshire Co-op's Community Champions scheme

 The latest round of voting for Lincolnshire Co-op's Community Champions scheme is now open. If you have a Lincolnshire Co-op dividend card would you please consider voting for All Saints Nocton. If we are successful we hope to purchase some new folding tables , stacking chairs & new crockery. These items would make it much easier to organise & enjoy social events in church for the benefit of the whole community.

Welcome Sarah!

 This Sunday we welcome the Rev’d Sarah Tierney to our benefice. Sarah is a third-year curate, based in Scunthorpe, but will be spending the next six weeks with us to gain experience of rural ministry.
