Stairway to heaven?
Thank you to everyone who has already responded by sponsoring a tower step, we're now two thirds of the way up! We can afford over 41 steps, but need to replace 21 more. The cost is £203.80 +VAT (£244.56) for each step, coming to over £15,000, so we still need your help to increase the step-count! Can you sponsor a step, or two? Work has started on the most urgent steps, so please donate if you can & use reference "STEPS". Thank you.

The Roll will be updated prior to the Annual Parochial Meeting so if you have joined us during the last year and wish to be included, please complete an Application Form, available at the back of the Church, and hand it to me, Errol Baker, Electoral Roll Officer

This is a weekly opportunity to get together online and explore the gospel set for the following Sunday. We’ll study the passage and consider what it means for us – and you don’t need any experience or knowledge to join in! Then there will be time to catch up about all that’s going on in our community and we’ll end with a short time of prayer. Join us on Zoom from 8-9pm every Tuesday. You don’t need to commit to joining every week, but we’d love to see a regular group build up to explore our faith together.
Bellringing
After a long period of inactivity owing to Covid restrictions, the bellringers are back to a more normal pattern of service ringing and practices. A couple have moved away during the lockdown period and our numbers are now lower than we would like. We have rung eight bells on a couple of occasions recently but, with a total of 14 bells in the tower, we could do with a few more ringers to enable more of our bells to be rung. We would love to hear from anyone who would like to learn to ring, or from any “lapsed” ringers, or from any ringers who have moved into the area and would be interested in continuing this rewarding activity. If you fall into any of these categories, or know someone who does, please contact Tricia Newton at high-wycombe@ebsb.odg.org.uk or via the church office. A warm welcome awaits you!
Our Lockdown Cookbook - copies still available! - The Cookbook contains recipes that our congregation have a special fondness for.
