The Bourne Valley's Lent Lunch was both very enjoyable and also very moving, combining delicious homemade soups, breads and cheese, with hearing about the work of CRESS, helping refugees from South Sudan, most of whom now live in camps in Northern Uganda. Bishop Joseph Aba, himself a refugee, helps care for thousands of South Sudanese, and thanks to CRESS, is currently visiting England.
It was a privilege to meet him, and to learn more about the immense challenges faced, due to conflict, poverty and shortages of food and medicines. CRESS works tirelessly to help provide the resources and support that can make a real difference to the lives of families who have lost so much, and we were delighted to raise over £400 in donations at the Lent Lunch. Please visit https://cressuk.org/ to find out more about this locally based charity and to donate to their lifesaving work - thank you.

​'The bells were reinstalled in the tower at St Michael & All Angels Church, Winterbourne Earls, at the end of January, having had new headstocks, pulley wheels and ropes fitted. Very grateful thanks to Whites of Appleton for all their work, and to everyone who contributed to the fundraising for this project. The bells were rung on Sunday 6 February, to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Queen's Accession, and will be available for Weddings, Sunday services and for anyone who enjoys, or wants to learn, bell ringing.

Riverside Singers

​Since 2011, Lynsey Docherty has led the Riverside Singers in an annual Christmas Concert at St Michael & All Angels, Winterbourne Earls, except for 2020, due to Covid-19. On Friday 3 December, the Church was full for an amazing evening of music making and fun. Thank you, Lynsey, Philip and all the singers and supporters - over £520 was raised for Church funds:
