March

news in a nutshell

from your local churches

 

St Martin, Exning

 

St Philip w St Etheldreda, Newmarket

 

St Nicholas, Landwade

 

When Jesus saw his mother there,

and the disciple whom he loved standing near by,

he said to his mother,

“Dear woman, here is your son,”

and to the disciple,

“Here is your mother.”

From that time on,

this disciple took her into his home.

(John chapter 19 verses 26 & 27)

 

 

This month we celebrate Mother’s Day - if you go by the name the card companies give it - or MOTHERING SUNDAY to give it its ancient title.

 

Whatever you choose to call it, March 14th is the day when we have an opportunity to say a ‘thank you’ to mums.

We will be doing that at St Martin’s at 11.00am with a special service for families and at a communion service at St Philip’s at 9.30am.

 

During both of these services there will also be an opportunity to light a candle for a mum who is no longer with us - a mum you can't give a card to today.

So if you are celebrating with your family, or simply looking back with fondness, you would be most welcome to come and join us at either of our services.

 

Happy Mothering Sunday!

Revd Joyce
