What is Pakefield Church?
We are a Christian family who worship God,
care for one another and the local community
and reach out to encourage others
to know Jesus and his love.
Pakefield Church is open every day from 9.00am to 6.00pm. You are welcome to come and meet with God, to enjoy the peace and quiet and to spend time in prayer.
In St Margaret’s chancel, there is a prayer station where you can sit or kneel and light a candle.

NOTICES
Messy Church…
…is this Thursday and help is needed to move chairs at
2pm and again at 5.30pm. Please speak to Katey or
Sharon if you can help and take and display a poster.
Friday mornings…
… 9am too early for you?
No worries! – the Churchyard Gardening Group has
now changed its start time to 10.00am (til noon), so
everyone who found 9.00am too early can now
come along –(not every week necessarily if not
possible for you), but whenever the weather is fine,
and spring is in the air – the churchyard is calling you
with a variety of tasks– plus the coffee and biscuits!
See you there!
Quiz Evening ..
… is at 6.45pm this Saturday. Margaret Harbord will
be happy to sell you tickets today at the very
reasonable price of £5.00!
Ash Wednesday is on 26th February…
… and there will be a service at 6.30pm in Church.
Gathering for Lent
This begins on Thursday 27th February from 7pm to
8.30pm. We are using the USPG (United Society
Partners in the Gospel) material again this year,
called Living with a World of Difference, come along
for a time of prayer, reflection and discussion. If you
can help with refreshments please let Revd Sharon
know. Week one is called Unity in Diversity
(Polynesia).
Lent Café
The first Café will be on Friday 28th February in church
as usual from 10.00am to 12.00 noon. Please contact
Judith on 07753 613433, 01502 539237, or email
judiq1966@hotmail.com as soon as possible if you
can help in any way. Please take a poster to display
and some flyers to give out.
Digest
Please let Michelle have any articles for inclusion in
the March Digest by 19th February at the latest.
Thank you.
Murder Mystery Evening
The next ‘murder’ will take place on Saturday 28th
March in the church hall. Tickets will only be
available from the Church Office on Monday,
Wednesday and Fridays mornings between 10.00am
and 12.00pm. Please pay, and collect them from
there at a cost of £10.00 each. (Judging by those
asking for these we may need stewards at the door
of the office to protect Val on Monday!)
Bishop’s Lent Appeal
This year’s appeal is to help the church in Dogura in
Papua New Guinea, one of our companion Dioceses.
One of their most pressing issues is that in their very
remote area they do not have their own transport to
and from major towns. A vehicle would help provide
education and essential medical attention for their
local community and beyond. Further details of how
to give will be available soon.
Change of e-mail address
Please note Sharon has now changed her email
address to: rector@pakefieldchurch.com. Please use
this to contact her from now on.
Do you have any ‘tiered’ cake stands in your home?
If you do, would you consider letting Trudie and
team borrow these for the Vintage tea on 8th May?
Please do not bring them along yet, just let Trudie
know if she can borrow them. Many thanks.
Bottles….
… a big thank you from Di, but NO MORE PLEASE.
Your nearest bottle bank will be very pleased to
have them though!
Diaries
There are still some 2020 diaries available at
the back of the church for only £1.00 each
