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.

Southwell Minster Trip to support David at his Collation in Southwell Minster on 19 February, a coach has been booked and will be taking us from outside Easton Street Baptist Church at 1pm that day. There will be a second pick up at the Cressex Park and Ride on the way. Application forms are available in church for you to complete and return to the parish office. Please let us have your completed form, with your cheque, as soon as possible.
Tuesday lunchtime concerts - this week the Atéa Wind Quintet
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.

Wycombe Youth for Christ/Helping Hands Project has been supporting the Buckinghamshire Education Business Partnership (BEBP) scheme. The BEBP are seeking ‘business’ mentors to support, encourage and provide some expertise to students working on a challenge (i.e. developing a community project or creating a welcome pack for Year 7 Students). Could you spare just one day in order to mentor a group of young people at a local secondary school? (Further details available on the flier at the back of church).
