NOTES FROM ST JOHN’S



         As we enter the season of Lent we are                I have also been spending some time re-
         looking forward to hosting the mid-                  doing our service booklets so that we
         week Communion each Wednesday                        can use the same ones each week rather
         which will be followed by a light lunch              than throwing them away as we have
         and then the Lent Course, advertised on              had to do over the last year or so due

         p25.  To tie in with this, we will then be           to the COVID rules.  Moving from
         holding Compline at 6pm each                         disposable to reusable orders of service
         Wednesday evening in Lent.  Compline is              is hopefully a sign that things are
         an ancient service and a wonderful way               improving and returning to something
         to end the day.  Each week we will be                approaching normal and that the

         welcoming a                                                                   pandemic is coming

         to preach at this                                                             rightly still cautious
