Aug 31:
Evensong at St Nicholas, Landwade
– At the service at Landwade this afternoon, Archdeacon David will be
licensing John Saville (our webmaster) as a Reader in our parish. Please
come and meet David and make John feel really welcomed! The service
starts at 3p.m. and will last about an
hour.
For
as long as the earth lasts, seed time and harvest will never cease.
God’s promise to us in the Bible and yet
as we look around the world we are tempted to question his goodness.
No rain....................too much rain.
Food that is too expensive.......or a
famine
Has God forgotten his promise?
We live in a web of relationships, linked
to people and to nature and when any of those links get twisted or
broken they prevent the life of God flowing through them.
Harvest season is a good time for all of
us to stop and ask ourselves - and God - how we can mend some of the
broken links in our relationship with the world - make ourselves greener
- reduce our carbon footprint.
And while we’re at it, we could ask him
to help us mend some of the twisted, broken relationships that we have
with people as well…..
Some
of you may have noticed that on the Diocese web site the advertisement
for a new vicar indicates that a closing date for applications has
passed. We understand that interviews will be held for the vicar's post
in September. The interviews will not be taking place in the parish but
in Canterbury, which is our patron and on these matters they have the
ultimate say, and we have been advised that a "meet the candidates
session" is not appropriate. I am sorry about this, as I know many
people would have valued this opportunity, but we have been given no
option in the matter. Patsy and I would appreciate your prayers as we
try to help in the selection of the person who will best meet the needs
of the parish. Please do not ask us or the clergy for further
information, as we are not in a position to divulge anything.
The parish
is committed to support and help its new incumbent in every way
possible. Our friendship is offered, our prayers are offered and our
hands are offered. Together we will grow our faith, our spirituality and
our congregation and be seen as a valuable asset and resource to the
northern half of Newmarket.

Welcome to the "Exning

We hope this will be of interest to:
People living in the
Exning & Newmarket area who may want to know more about the churches in
their area, what goes on, when services take place, who to contact etc
Those living away from the
area who may have family or church links and are interested in recent
events and want to make a "virtual visit" to Exning
Those who have past family
links and are trying to check on information on those who are buried in
the Churchyard
... and of course those
who are members of the church family who want to keep up to date with
events
