FROM THE DESK OF RICHARD MUMFORD 1. Atlas Sunday 6th December 2009 was successful, the preacher being the Rev. Dick Johnson, industrial chaplain for the Diocese. A total of £389.26 was sent to Redditch Night Stop, The Ecumenical Centre, Redditch. Redditch Night Stop is a voluntary organisation set up in 1997 providing emergency overnight accommodation for 16-25 year olds. These youngsters are taken into people's homes as complete strangers, to stay with a family. Night Stop also provides floating support where a staff member provides support to the young person in their own home. The young people are encouraged to engage in community activities. Night Stop also runs an education programme in the local schools. Thank you to all those who made this successful. 2. 14th March – Mothering Sunday. There will be an Evensong in Cropthorne at 6 p.m. Many churches have found an increasing interest in a Sunday evening service and we propose to try this for at least two months on the second Sunday in the month. Do come and bring your friends. 3. Pyramid Supper. Thank you and well done to all who have been involved so far in the Pyramid suppers. So far they have raised £750, hopefully they are still continuing, and people will continue to support and promote them. 4. Parish Calendars. The Parish Calendars have more than paid for themselves and probably produced a small profit. I am sure many parishioners have good photographs of the villages in the snow and hopefully there will be some for Spring and a sunny Summer. Please send them to me at: richardmumford@agmfarm.co.uk whilst they are still fresh on your camera/in your mind.
Pershore and District Branch ARC Will be holding a SOUPER SOUP lunch Saturday 10th April Charlton School room 11.30am—2.00pm
Do come and support Arthritis Research or just come along for lunch and a chat. L.

Would anyone wishing to donate please let me know by 20 March 
It has been suggested that those who wish to walk up Bredon Hill on Good Friday might like to join with members of our Parish. To this end, and recognising that this is not the easiest route, nor is it going to suit everyone, but if you would like to join with this particular trekking group, meet at Woollas Hall ready to leave at 1.45 pm for a short, sharp climb!! The short service starts
at 2.45,
so there should be plenty of time to get there if you don’t collapse in the attempt!!
If you need more information phone Celia (861348) 
Wednesday 17th March
There will be some stalls and a raffle but this event is a change from our usual Spring Fayre.
