Spring is sprung and the grass is growing again – and it needs mowing.
The church garden is such a lovely green space. But it doesn't look after itself.
We only have 2 teams of mowers currently, and really really need more volunteers.
Each team is 2 people and the more teams there are the fewer the times they have to mow.
We currently have one volunteer who needs someone to pair with him which will make an additional team.
PLEASE could you offer your services. If you need more information contact
John Jeavons tel 0121 550 7992 email johnjeavons@blueyonder.co.uk

Is anyone with a vehicle able to take the fridge/freezer to the tip please?
I have been exploring different avenues for disposal but none are willing to take it. I am willing to help.
For the council to take it away it will cost £30.00.

NEW CIRCUIT NAME
Members of the circuit meetings of both Blackheath and Halesowen and the Gornal and Sedgley Circuit were invited to suggest new names for the circuit; from these names the CLT's (Circuit Leadership Teams) selected a short list of 4. These were circulated to the members of the two circuit meetings & votes by email were requested with a deadline of 2nd of March.
As a result of vote it has been decided that the name of the new circuit will be
"The Anchor Circuit".
The rationale behind that choice is that passing from one side of the new circuit to the other the most direct route takes you past the replica of the Titanic Anchor, and that many in the area were involved in the chain making associated with the Anchor.
Also the desire for the people in the new circuit to be
"Anchored" in Christ; (We have an Anchor!)

PRAYER
Lord, thank You for this day. I ask that You would guide my path today and, more specifically, my thoughts, words and actions. Please be with me throughout the day and help me navigate whatever comes my way. Most importantly, help me to reflect and live out my life in a way that is honoring to You. Amen

CRAFTING FOR COMMUNITIES
During Covid many of the ladies in our craft group made bags for hospital staff to take their uniforms home to wash to help with infection control. From that small beginning has grown a huge group of people across Dudley called Crafting for Communities. They do so much amazing work they were recently given the Freedom of the Borough. They supply old peoples homes, hospitals and schools with a huge variety of home made toys, shawls , blankets ...the list is endless. Right now they're asking for teddies. They give them - amongst other things - to children in hospital. If you have any you could donate please bring them to church ( I'll supply a box) or give them directly to me. Wool is always needed too. If you want to know more about the group check out their website or Facebook page. Many thanks. Eileen.
