Lent lunches at St George’s Church
The first of three weekly lunches during Lent were help on Thursday, with a lovely group of people sharing soup and breaking bread together, whilst raising money for the important work of Christian Aid.
Three choices of homemade soup and a selection of bread kept everyone coming back up for more!
There are further lunches of 20th and 27th March at St George’s Church, Wash Common. All are welcome to come along.

Shrove Tuesday pancakes in South Newbury
Both St George’s and St John’s Churches hosted pancake parties on Shrove Tuesday where many came along to enjoy a pancake or two. There were even pancake races for the children (and Fr Gary) at St John’s.
After pancakes, last year’s palm crosses were burned to make ash for the Ash Wednesday services that marked the start of Lent the next day.
We now move in into Lent, preparing for Holy Week and Easter. Details of all events and services can be found on the website here.
