THE BRIDGEBUILDER QUIZ took place yesterday evening at Loughton Baptist Church. Three teams, including the one from St George's, tied for first place. Sadly, we were not quite quick enough in the deciding question so we finished in second place. Annual Church Meetings St George's - Sunday 19th April Holy Trinity - Sunday 26th April Please make sure that you have given your contributions for the annual report to Gillian in Wolverton 3rd SUNDAY OF LENT IN TOUCH March 8th 2015 WE ARE REALLY INTO our Lenten journey now, and we are making our way with more and more purpose towards the cross. Griff, our placement student, will be preaching today and he writes.... You know how sometimes, you might ask Where is God leading me with this piece of scripture? Although, this could just be me! Well, I don't feel that way with the lectionary (John 2:13-22) this time; hooray! I have been praying and reading about this piece of scripture and I believe the sentence to sum up what I feel called to bring out of it is: Jesus clears the temple Jesus shows his passion for the Father in the temple, but how do we show our passion for the Father in our lives... SADLY, BETTY WISE who celebrated her 96th birthday on February 25th and was a long-standing member of St George's church, died peacefully on Monday 2nd March. We offer our love and prayers to all Betty's family, but especially for her son David and her daughter Sue as they grieve. Though Betty had not been able to get to church much in recent years, she received communion at home and was a dedicated and faithful servant of Jesus and we pray that she will rest in peace and rise in glory. Betty's funeral will take place on Monday 23rd March at 2pm in St George's, followed at 3pm by burial in Wolverton Cemetery. MOTHERING NEXT WEEK IS MOTHERI NG SUNDAY and we will be having special services in both our churches where we will rejoice for the love of all those who offer a mothering love. There will be activities for the little ones, mothers' day flowers will be given, and candles lit in memory of mothers no longer with us.

Can anyone at HT help with some door-to-door collecting this year around the Parish? If you would like to help, could you please see me after the service today and let me know which street/s you would be willing to cover. Thank you. Gay CHRISTIAN AID has been offered a collection point outside Tesco in Wolverton for Friday 15th May, which is during Christian Aid Week. Would anyone be able to help for an hour or two on that day? If so, please contact Laura on 01908 319632 or [email protected]. What part does faith play in practical politics? How does faith influence our stance on issues? How can Christians best take part in community activity and the political process? In the run up to the General Election what are the key issues for Christians? In a largely secular society, is the Christian voice marginalised in politics? How can churches increase their engagement in society? How do we work for the common good and social justice in the community? What are the issues we face as people of faith seeking to serve society through political action? On Sunday 22nd March I am taking part in an 8K fun run around Willen lake to raise money for MK Food Bank. If you would like to make a donation, please let me know.
