The west end floor and north aisle protection will be laid in the week beginning 19 March, then the exciting part starts. On 26 March we will start lowering the bells from the tower, and, if everything goes to plan, they will be taken to Whitechapel Bellfoundry on 29 March. The bell frame will then be dismantled and stored in the north aisle until it can be sold. There will be a lot of other wood - floor boards, etc, which will be of no use for restoration or craft work and might be of interest to people with wood burning stoves. Should anyone be interested in having some of the scrap wood, please contact Patricia Newton (01844 352926). Donations to Ringappeal always appreciated.
Easter Lilies – If you would like a lily in church in memory of a loved one, please would you put the money and the name of the person to be remembered into an envelope and hand it to the church office, the verger, Pat Lea, Liz Cunningham or myself by Sunday 25 March. The cost again this year will be £3 per lily. Elizabeth Cubbage
Admission to Communion: I will be pleased to hear from any child who would like to start receiving Communion after a short preparation course. Parents and children...please get in touch with me. Nicky Skipworth
PALM SUNDAY - We will be including a dramatic version of the Passion within the 9.45am service on Palm Sunday. In order to do this we need some willing volunteers who are prepared to take on a small role, be a disciple, a passer-by or a tree! Please contact David Knights (07584 529044 or david@knightshouse.org.uk) if you can help. There will be no (or very few) lines to learn and we will hold two rehearsals beforehand on Wednesday 21 March @ 7.30pm and Saturday 31 March @ 3pm in church. Please consider taking an active part to make this retelling effective and memorable.

A Prayer to use during the Vacancy
Gracious and loving God, you have called us to serve this community of High Wycombe: during this time of vacancy help us to discern your will and guide those involved in the appointment process, so that together we may continue to grow in our mission and ministry. We ask this in the name of Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Prayer for All Saints - we will be meeting to pray for the church, especially for our mission and our life together during this time of vacancy. Saturday mornings 10am in the Quiet Garden, all are welcome. Jackie.
Please note there will be NO Evensong on 19 February, as many will be at Southwell Minster for David’s collation as Archdeacon of Newark. All Saints Choir has been invited to sing at this service.
Tuesday lunchtime concerts - this week Rufus Frowde (Organist and Assistant Director of Music at the Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace).
The next Prayer Guild takes place on Wednesday 15 February, 7.30pm at 17 St Bernard’s Court.
TOWER RESTORATION/RINGAPPEAL: Provisional dates have been set for the start of the work on the tower. The clock must be removed first. The last time the old bells will be rung will be Monday 20 February before the wheels are dismantled on 23 February. The builders will take possession of the tower from 27 February. From that date the area under the tower will be fenced off, and there will be boarding over areas at the back and north of the church. Work on lowering the bells themselves is scheduled to start on 26 March. The west door will not be accessible, nor will the cupboards under the tower. Access to the kitchen and toilet facilities should not be prevented, but there will be times when heavy machinery will be moved about in this area. The work is likely to take about 6 months to complete, during which time there could be large amounts of wood and metal stored in the church. We will clear this as soon as possible. The level of disruption will vary during the summer; please bear with us while this work is in progress. In the meantime, we still need to raise about £50,000. Patricia Newton

Lost For Words - Following on from our Autumn course, where several people commented on seeking confidence in talking about faith, we will be having a Lent course in church on the following evenings: 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th, March, and a final session on 16th April. This will be a time where we can learn together about sharing faith personally in a non-cringy way! More details to follow.
TOWER RESTORATION/RINGAPPEAL: Provisional dates have been set for the start of the work on the tower. The clock must be removed first. The last time the old bells will be rung will be Monday 20 February before the wheels are dismantled on 23 February. The builders will take possession of the tower from 27 February. From that date the area under the tower will be fenced off, and there will be boarding over areas at the back and north of the church. Work on lowering the bells themselves is scheduled to start on 26 March. The west door will not be accessible, nor will the cupboards under the tower. Access to the kitchen and toilet facilities should not be prevented, but there will be times when heavy machinery will be moved about in this area. The work is likely to take about 6 months to complete, during which time there could be large amounts of wood and metal stored in the church. We will clear this as soon as possible. The level of disruption will vary during the summer; please bear with us while this work is in progress. In the meantime, we still need to raise about £50,000, so please support our concert on 11 February.
Jane and Peter Nott our link mission partners are at present undertaking a short-term mission placement in Egypt. They have to be out of Israel for a year before they can reapply for their visas.

Four Studies and a Party update - The Pastoral Team have been studying the feedback from the course David and Debbie ran in the autumn. One outcome has come as a result of several comments about seeking increased confidence in talking about our faith. Debbie is going to run a course called 'Lost For Words' during Lent. More details to follow. Other outcomes will unfold in the months to come.
