As we turn the corner into 2026 we might be pausing to take stock of the year just gone and wondering what this year may look like for us. Perhaps it is about replacing some bad habits with good ones? 40 Acts is a programme designed to help us live generous lives. Everyday there will be a new challenge from writing a note of encouragement to someone, to buying a small gift for a friend. All the family can take part - there are some great ideas for children too! All you have to do is sign up and respond to the daily prompts - 40acts: Do Lent generously

Preparing for the 2026 Fete - Saturday May 16
The Fete Planning Meeting on 26 February was well attended with plenty of discussion and enthusiasm.  Thank you to those who were able to come. 
If you weren’t able to attend, there are many ways to help, and we’ll be asking over the coming weeks via articles in the parish news and village emails for:
- donations for the various stalls - cakes, plants, produce, gifts, bottles, auction of promises, old crockery, books;
- assistance with tea, gate and road rotas, and putting up signs on fete morning;
- help with set up (Friday May 15) and clear;
- ideas for potential sponsors;
- printing 500 programmes - and ideally, folding and stapling them, but the main need is for the printing.
In the meantime we need stallholder help please – can you run the Hoopla stall please or volunteer to give a stall holder a break?
If  you can help in any way, please contact Kerry at kemday@btinternet.com
