QUIET DAY
at the Hillcrest Centre Dordon
Sat 21st February.
Please take a flier from the
welcome table.
CONGRATULATIONS to Jim on his Licensing as Rector of St. Matthew’s Church,
Walsall. Our prayers go with Jim and Priscilla in their new ministry. Jim’s contact details
are: 07939 587 208 or email: [email protected]
PLEASE HELP: A gentle reminder that as indicated in our verse for the year, it's very
helpful if everyone could please be mindful of clearing up after themselves in church. In
Jim's absence we are reminded of the many little clearing up jobs that he did on our behalf,
which were not necessarily his responsibility. Simple examples are not leaving coffee cups,
service sheets and toys lying around in church and being sure to return chairs or tables to
their rightful places if they have been moved for a specific purpose. Thank you.
'How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in harmony.'
ELECTORAL ROLL: The Church Electoral Roll is a list of Church members who are
entitled to attend, take part and vote in the church Annual General Meeting where
elections take place for District Church Council (DCC) members including churchwardens.
It is also a more formal way of belonging to the local church. St. George’s Electoral Roll is
being revised on 23rd February in readiness for our AGM on 23rd March. If you would
like to know more please take an Application for Enrolment from the table under the
notice board or speak to Anne Bassett. If you would like to join the Electoral Roll please
complete the form and return to the office by Sunday 22nd February.
EVERYONE COUNTS . . . a short survey for people from Church of England
congregations. It asks some simple questions (age, gender, church attendance etc) and the
information is used by the Archbishop’s Council to help understand our church families
and communities and the future needs of our churches. More information is available
online and anyone from a congregation can simply go here and complete the short survey.

FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT 2015. 23rd February – 8th March Coming up this month
is the annual Fairtrade event known as Fairtrade Fortnight (FTF). During this time
all things Fairtrade are promoted and highlighted. The focus of this year’s event
will be celebrating the impact of Fairtrade, and putting a spotlight on the producers.
Producers see many benefits when they sell their products like access to clean
water, schools and hospitals – things we take for granted, as well as a fair price and
workers rights. Buying Fairtrade is the best way to support the people who produce our
food and the best choice for the environment, as Fairtrade producers are required to
protect the environment through good practice and sustainable methods.
During FTF St Editha’s Book and Fairtrade Shop will be promoting all things Fairtrade
and will also be giving away free cups of tea and coffee so that you can try before you buy!
