MONTHLY MEDITATION The second Tuesday of each month a group of people have been meeting together in the church for a short time of prayer and meditation. These meetings are continuing but the format is changing. Each month a passage from the Bible will be announced in the Pewsletter and stemming from that a “point to ponder” will be suggested. This will then be discussed informally with prayers and a meditation. Churchyard Chatter Spring Working Party
This event will take place on Saturday April 10th 2010. We will commence battle at 9.30 am sharp. (Well some of us will!) By popular demand it will be followed by a “Bring and Share” picnic lunch in the churchyard. This will begin around noon. ALL are welcome, please bring your friends, neighbours, relatives and a plate of food. The usual notice will be up in the porch for you to sign up to your task. As it is so soon after Easter some of you may be away but don’t feel disappointed as you can be assigned a job on your return
OPEN DAY MAY 3rd 2010
Plants are needed for our very popular stall. Sow an extra tray or two of annuals or pot up surplus perennials and aim to have them ready for sale by late spring. A seed packet showing what the flowers are like helps to sell them. Don’t forget that vegetables are also very popular nowadays. Put this date in your diary AND BE THERE. Lists for help will be posted in the New Year.
LITTLE MALVERN PRIORY NEEDS YOU
In Malvern
Check with http://www.lytteltonwell.co.uk/ for news of Churches Together in Malvern. Women’s World Day of Prayer
In March over three million people will be taking part in an annual day of prayer. It will begin with a service held in the Queen Salote Girls’ School in Tonga and continue as a wave of prayer across the world, finishing 35 hours later in Western Samoa. The service this year has been prepared by the women of Cameroon. The Republic of Cameroon is said to be “Africa in Miniature”. It is a country of great cultural diversity, with more than 240 ethnic groups and languages. Many challenges have to be faced as its people try to move into a modern age without losing their distinctive characteristics, but they are still able to praise God with joy and exuberance. The services have traditionally been prepared by women, but anyone is welcome to attend. This year in Malvern they will take place on:
Friday 5th March
2.00 p.m. at Holy Trinity, Link Top.
Slides of Cameroon will be shown at 12.30 p.m. in Holy Trinity Lower Parish Hall. Bring your own sandwiches. Tea and Coffee provided.
and at
7.30 p.m. at the Friends’ Meeting House, Orchard Road. The speaker at both services will be Canon Stella Vernon who is a member of the National Committee of the Women’s World Day of Prayer in Britain. “Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord.”
J S Bach: St Matthew Passion Gloucester Cathedral 20 March 2010 5.30 pm, As we approach Good Friday, hear Bach’s St Matthew Passion tell the gospel story. Led by arguably the greatest Evangelist of our time, James Gilchrist, and in the magnificent surroundings of Gloucester Cathedral. Feel Peter’s weakness, Pilate’s frustration, the frenzy of the mob, the agony and humiliation of Jesus and the soothing power of God’s love, in music of reflective beauty, savage power and unbearable poignancy.
Tickets cost £25, £15 or £5 and are available from

LIFEPATH MALVERN 2010
Hopefully you will remember reading about Lifepath that took place in the Priory Church for a week in June last year, but if not you will be able to read all about this year’s Lifepath in next month’s magazine.
The school children who attend Lifepath are divided into small groups led by volunteers from various churches who for this time become Pilgrim Guides. For the past two years, Pilgrim Robes have been borrowed from Scripture Union, but we wish to make our own for this year’s Lifepath which is taking place in the Priory from Monday 21st to Friday 25th June.
There are about 30/40 Volunteers taking on this role, so a lot of sheets or white material will be needed!! If you can help with this request, or know of anyone else who might be able to, please contact either Rosamund Ponting 572165 rosamund.ponting@googlemail.com or Jenny Bull 561307 jennybull10@btinternet.com and they will arrange for collection. Many thanks. Jenny Bull In Worcester Worcester Cathedral Tuesday evenings at 7.30pm in the Guesten
Stainer's Crucifixion Our "allcomers" presentation of Stainer's Crucifixion at Holy Trinity, Belbroughton, near Stourbridge at 7.45 pm on Wednesday 24th March. All are welcome, to sing in the choir or the congregation. Whilst the music will be steady and satisfactory (there will be enough experienced singers to make sure it all works) this is to be regarded essentially as an act of worship rather than an endeavour in choral excellence, and people who are NOT expert singers but would just like to have a go are very welcome indeed. More details are available at http://www.bfchoir.org/schedule.html We do this about every four years - last time we had 147 people in the "Choir" and 93 in the "Congregation". Thank you. Mark Checkley Director of Music Holy Trinity, Belbroughton with St. Mark, Fairfield Diocese of Worcester. 0121 451 1186
