Our annual Candlemas Service will take place on Sunday 3^rd February at 6.30pm at St Margaret’s Church, Seething. This is for all the villages in our Benefice and provides a beautiful and moving end to the Christmas season. Much of the service takes place by candlelight and we maintain the ancient tradition of blessing the candles for use in our churches in the coming year. Everyone is welcome – come along and find out what happens.

We will complete our exploration of what hymns can teach us about the Christian faith. Anyone who loves hymns, or wants to find out more about the Christian faith, is welcome to come and join us.

All are welcome to join in as we spend time considering the Bible and praying for the world.

Lent 2019

The season of Lent begins on Wednesday 6^th March, which is Ash Wednesday this year. We will have a joint Benefice service of Holy Communion, with the Imposition of Ashes at 10.00am at St Peter’s, Brooke. If you have never been to this special service before, come along and join in. It is a very special beginning to the Lenten season.

Throughout Lent we have a service of Holy Communion on Wednesday mornings at 10.00am at The Vicarage. All are welcome.

All are welcome to join in as we spend time considering the Bible and praying for the world.

This year our Lent Study Course is entitled: “From Now On” and is based on the popular film “The Greatest Showman”. Each week we will use sections from the film to help us think about aspects of the Christian faith. The group will meet at The Vicarage at 7.30pm on Wednesday evenings during Lent, beginning on March 13^th. There will be a full showing of the film before Lent, to which you are warmly invited.

The Annual Meeting for Parishioners and the Annual Parochial Church Meeting for each church in the Brooke Benefice will be held this year on Sunday 17^th March at 11.30am in St Peter’s Church Brooke.

Everyone resident in the parish is entitled to vote at the first meeting and those on the Church Electoral Roll may vote at the second. For details of how to be included in the Electoral Roll please see the further notice.

 Church Electoral Roll

The Church Electoral Roll is a list of all those who are entitled to vote in the election of members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC). Every six years the roll is completely renewed and begins again, so all members who wish to remain on the roll must reapply. Those people who are already on the roll will be contacted and supplied with the relevant form, but this must be returned to the Electoral Roll Officer (or the Vicar) by Sunday 24^th February.

Most people over 16 who live in the parish are eligible to be on the roll. Please contact the Vicar
