God’s Story: Our Story – Ross Town Council – Rachel

Throughout Lent, in our 9.30 Sunday live streamed services from St Mary’s, we’ve been listening to stories from people in our community about how the last 12 months have affected them.

Today we focus once more on our town, and hear from Rachel Lewis. Rachel’s role at the Town Council is to focus on Projects. She explains how the pandemic has changed her approach over the last 12 months.

#LiveLent #MotheringSunday

Come, collect a primrose for Mum!

The Mothers’ Union at St Mary’s invites you to come and collect a small plant for your mum from the north porch at St Mary’s. Normally flowers would be given for this purpose in the 9.30 service, this is the best we can do this year. When they’re gone, they’re gone!

Our Mothering Sunday Service will be live streamed on YouTube from St Mary’s on Sunday morning at 9.30.

Toast

As you may know, we’ve been posting regular Toast Story Time videos during lockdown, we hope you’ve been enjoying them, and thanks for your company. If you’ve missed any you can catch up at https://rossparishes.uk/toast

We’ve decided, now, to take a break for a while, until Wednesday 19th May when we’re hoping we can be back in church for a physical meeting.

More about that nearer the time. In the meantime – continue to keep safe, and we’re really looking forward to seeing you all.

Toast Parent’s social – Wednesday at 8pm

The toast makers have enjoyed producing our videos but we’ve really missed seeing all of you mums and dads ….so we’re inviting you to an informal get-together where we can chat,  exchange tips and experiences, and laugh, over a cup/glass of your choice.
Screens without the stress!
We would love to see all on Wednesday evening (17th February) at 8 pm.

And don’t forget to look out for this week’s Toast Story Time, also on Wednesday at 10 am.
