Parish Charity

Please help by nominating a charity to be our Parish Charity for 2025.

Fund raising, for a charity alongside our own parish, is one of the activities of our church. We are conscious that the parish is in constant need of funds; however, we seek to serve others as loving members of Christ’s family.

Since 2015 we have supported Macmillan, Open Doors, The Salvation Army (Saffron Walden Branch), Romsey Mill (towards the wonderful work they do with young people in Cambridgeshire), Chrishall Primary School, Pets As Therapy and, our current charity, Headway. This is not an exclusive arrangement. Other charities have also been supported over the years.

We have a robust process to determine future charity partners. All parishioners are invited to be involved in the process of nominating a charity.

There are a few criteria listed on the Proposal Form to help the nomination and selection process. Any suggestions should be made by the end of February using the Proposal Form available from the Church Office, (late nomination may be considered). The final selection will be announced at the APCM in April and commence from then.

Lent Course 2025

From Wilderness to Glory

 Do please join us over desserts on Wednesday evenings, or morning tea on Thursday mornings this Lent for a transformative journey through the Gospels as we explore the life and impact of Jesus: the highs and lows of his earthly ministry, the power of his teaching and his victory over sin and death.

Tom Wright's daily readings and reflections From Wilderness to Glory will enable us to relive Christ's journey, from his temptations in the wilderness to the darkness of the cross and beyond into the glory of Easter.

 To enable as many people as possible to come and engage with and discuss these readings and reflections, we will be meeting each week on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm, repeated on Thursday MORNINGS at 9.30am, starting on 12th / 13th March, and meet for five consecutive weeks at the Rectory, 48 Heydon Road, Great Chishill SG8 8SR. 

 The course book "Lent And Easter For Everyone: From Wilderness to Glory" by Tom wright is available as a paperback or kindle / ebook at many booksellers, including Eden and Amazon.

 Please let James know if you intend to join for catering purposes:  iwp.parishrector@gmail.com / 07840 329279. I look forward to seeing you!
