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.
Other opportunities for Lent: Town Centre Churches Together are offering ecumenical Lent groups. They will be using a course by David Adam, The Great I am. This takes the seven ‘I am’ sayings of Jesus from St John’s gospel and encourages us to find God in the present tense, rather than in the past tense. Please sign the list at the back of church indicating your choice of day and time as soon as possible and by 19 February at the latest.
